Mr. Anderson Burora, a former Deputy Resident City Commissioner for Rubaga, now finds himself embroiled in a maelstrom of trouble.
Mr. Anderson Burora detained, expected in court today
The long arm of the law caught up with Mr. Anderson Burora on Monday night, as detectives descended upon his Nakawa Division residence. The arrest, executed with precision, has resulted in Mr. Burora’s detention at the Central police station in Kampala.

Residence raided
Yesterday morning, the peace of Ntinda was disrupted as a team of police officers, accompanied by counter-terrorism unit personnel, descended upon Mr. Burora’s residence. This meticulously planned operation aimed to unearth any evidence that could shed light on the ongoing investigation.
However, despite the efforts expended during the search, lasting several hours, no positive results were obtained. The Kampala Metropolitan police spokesman confirmed the lack of significant findings during this extensive search.
While the search at Mr. Burora’s residence unfolded, reporters eager to document the events faced an unexpected obstacle.
Restrictions imposed by the authorities prohibited them from capturing any footage of the search operation. The denial of filming access left many perplexed, raising questions about the nature of the search and the potential implications of its findings.

![[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.
