The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Major Gen Sabiiti Muzeyi, has urged senior officers to lead by example to their subordinates as they perform their day-to-day duties.
Major Gen Sabiiti made the remarks today while presiding over the pass out ceremony of 45 police officers that underwent a four-month Intermediate Command and Staff Course at Police Senior Command and Staff College, Bwebajja, Wakiso District.
“In order to deal with real life issues, which are protection of life and property, this noble calling you chose by yourselves, demands your utmost. Be guided by love in all that you do. The skills you have got are to make you the best and efficient as you perform your duties. And lead by example. Let your works, deeds and words follow you so that the rest can emulate who you are. If you choose to sleep early and expect your subordinates to sleep late, forget it. If you drink or be corrupted and expect the majority to behave otherwise, forget it,” Gen Sabiiti said.
He added that peace and security are a sine-quanon for prosperity and therefore officers must guard them jealously.
Gen Sabiiti reminds officers of their skills
“You don’t come to school here to pass time. You came to this college to get skills to do your job well. Our job is real. It’s not fiction or drama.
It’s real business. So the skills that you have been given, will go a long way in improving the security of Ugandans,” he said.
“I want to emphasize this. You should be serious and reduce your time of sleep. You have time to sleep, why do you sleep at a time when you are supposed to work? The clock is ticking.
Do right things at the right time,” he said.
He urged officers to uphold virtues of honesty, discipline, and hard work as they will enable them handle assignments with distinction.
He thanked the Commander in Chief of armed forces, the President of Uganda, for the recent investment in anti crime infrastructure, like CCTV cameras, fingure printing of weapons, investment in forensic sciences, registration of motor vehicles and motorcycles which he said will significantly change policing in Uganda.

![[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.
