Former NTV journalist Faridah Nakazibwe has come out to say that she believes that bank agents are the ones who tip thugs to rob people once they have finished making bank transactions.
This follows a CCTV footage that circulated on social media showing thugs robbing an Indian businessman yesterday.
These goons traveling on about 5 boda boda bikes ganged up on this man around Eso Corner in Kampala.
This man was identified as Mr. Joshi Keshav, a 32-year-old Indian national and tour and travel company operator based at Crown House. Police also said that the case was reported at Nkrumah Road Police Station.
According to the valuables stolen from him, Police said that they included a laptop valued at UGX 2.2 million, cash amounting to UGX 150,000, an Ecobank debit card, and keys. Investigations are already underway to pin these goons. Luckily for the victim, he suffered minor injuries.
What Faridah suggests Police should do.
According to Faridah, the Police need to organize an operation to curb this. She proposed that one of their agents go to the bank to withdraw a large sum of money. And when this is done, these bank operatives might inform their goons to attack. And in doing so, Police can then swing into action and apprehend them. She also believes that three operations are enough to reduce this.
“At least, by now we believe that these gangs are tipped by agents in the banks. Can’t security agencies organize an operation where their own withdraws money, jumps on a bike, and waits for these goons to attack him, awo emmundu eseke. Three such operations may help reduce this kind of lawlessness.”

![[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.
