While addressing the media police spokesperson Fred Enanga said that the killing could have been avoided if the holder of the gun, PC Mulombo hadn’t left it unattended in the room they were sharing with the assailant killer PC Wabwire.
….”Our policy on the use of firearms demands that PC Mulombo should have returned the gun to the armory before moving out of the station. But without lawful permission he sneaked out of the station to attend to a personal matter which is an outright case of gross indiscipline and negligence,”he said.
According to the disciplinary police court PC Molombo has been charged with discreditable conduct and has been dismissed from the force.
Meanwhile police spokesperson Fred Enanga added that PC Mulombo is now a civilian and will be taken to the criminal court for negligence of duties as a civilian.
However police have this morning issued stringent guidelines on gun handling and use of force by all their officers and these initiatives will help improve public trust and confidence and even promote better gun handling skills and improve community safety.

![[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.
