City lawyer Male Mabirizi filed one of the applications and Legal Brains Trust, a not-for-profit organization filed the second application. Legal Brains Trust is headed by lawyer Isaac Ssemakadde.
Last week, the government signed a contract with Joint Stock Company, a Russian digital security company. The agreement has the aim of seeing tracking devices in vehicles and vessels in Uganda.
Maj. Gen. Jim Muhwezi, the minister of Security assured the country of the only purpose intended for these digital trackers.
He said the government is only going to use these to track vehicles and their whereabouts as a measure to deal with insecurities.
He added that the government had no intention to invade the privacy of citizens.
However, after all this, reports emerged about the Russian firm facing bankruptcy litigation in Moscow as shown in court documents from Russia.
The firm is also facing other debt-related cases that were filed between 2019 and 2021 in Russia.
The court, therefore, had to issue an interim injunction based on all these facts and also if Uganda is to have a chance at battling crime.
When Justice Boniface Wamala heard the case, he directed lawyer Okecho representing Legal Brains Trust to give a copy of his application to the Attorney General.
This would be to enable the Attorney General to make his response to enable the court to deliver its ruling on September 10, 2021.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
