“Don’t engage in bribery or any other corruption tendencies. These spoil the force’s name. Serve the public diligently. I don’t see any reason for you to torture a suspect. This is wrong and should never happen.”
He said this while in Butambala district where he was addressing the local police at the start of his two-day rectification campaign.
The rectification campaign is aimed at going to the ground to speak to police officers in a bid to find out the problems they face while carrying out their duties.
Kulayigye says officers should voice their concerns to him if any. This will help solve cases right away and those that can’t would be forwarded to the top police leadership.
“I am here with officers from the different directorates to listen to your problems and either solve them right away or take them further to the IGP. We want to find out challenges but also where we find that you don’t perform better, we shall tell you to change.”
Since the police want to improve their image in the public eye, this campaign is one of those things they started.
According to Hillary Kulayigye, when the police have a good image in public, it will help them fight crime because they will have the trust of the people.

![[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.
