Bobi Wine is demanding the release of people kidnapped by security forces whether dead or alive. He said this yesterday at a protest with a few people in downtown.
“Gen. Museveni must bring back our people dead or alive. The right to protest is embedded within our Constitution. A Ugandan who participates in a peaceful demonstration commits no offence,” he said
Bobi Wine noted that dictators only respect rule of law when put under pressure.
“Even if the police brutally arrested them, we are sure that ultimately they will be free because they broke no law and therefore committed no crime. Dictators like Museveni only respect the law if put under pressure,”
The National Unity Platform leader, Robert Kyagulanyi has been calling upon people to protest peacefully. However, this has not yielded because the police have been very alert on this. They say Kyagulanyi has not yet requested permission as the law demands.
It is not only announcing (peaceful protests) but work with police to give them your plan to ensure the peaceful assembly is not taken advantage of,” Fred Enanga said.
However, there are so many questions to ask ourselves. If Kyagulanyi made a request to the police to protest peacefully, would they have allowed him to? For so many times, he has tried to do things legally, it has always turned out to be a no and the rest we know is chaos all over. At this point, Kyagulanyi has probably lost hope in any legal procedures to do what he desires. This is why the chase and the run game may never end between NUP and the police.

![[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.
