“We are looking at electronic surveillance where we can use drones, electronic surveillance, as a force to bridge the [security] gap.”
Kambere plus some other guests were discussing challenges immigration faces in trying to secure the country’s borders.
He pointed out porous borders, fraud, limited automation at border points, inadequate physical infrastructure and border demarcation issues.
Col Kambere said, however he appreciates the significant support from sister security agencies. He recognized the help from friends too such as the United Nations and donors such as Japan.
Japanese Ambassador, Fukuzawa Hidemoto says their commitment is out of its commitment to contribute to peace and development in Africa.
“Japan believes that a threat to peace and stability of nations anywhere is, potentially, a threat to the security of Japan. And because fragile borders can aid such problems like terrorism, organized crime and human trafficking, the People of Japan are willing to contribute to supporting governments, including Uganda, to secure their borders.”
Meanwhile, there have been so many insecurities around borders that have even frustrated business. The use of electronics to help in the surveillance is a very good idea from the government.

![[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.
