Self-styled political analyst and businessman, Frank Gashumba has told his boss Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba and other security bosses to resign if they have failed to protect Ugandans and their property.
There are several viral clips on social media of thugs robbing and assaulting Ugandans. Clips even show some of those thugs confessing how they have robbed and murdered different Ugandans.
Gashumba said that he and other Ugandans are wondering why these security officers are paid salaries if they can’t do their jobs. He also said that if these gangs have overpowered these security operatives, they don’t qualify to wear their uniforms.
Read his statement below;
“To all heads of security agencies; UPDF, Uganda Police, Internal Security Organization, Military Police, Chieftaincy of military intelligence, Special Forces Command and all sister agencies; If you cannot protect Ugandans with their properties, simply resign. Every day we see social media clips of Ugandans being assaulted, robbed and even murdered by gangs. On the streets of Kampala and several testimonial reports and recordings on different categories of young females, males, traumatized by the thuggery even in broad daylight.”
“We as Ugandans, are wondering why they pay you people salaries. You are paid to protect lives and properties. If these gangs have overpowered you, you don’t qualify to wear our uniforms,” said Gashumba.
Furthermore, he said that he recently saw a Police release advising people to avoid dark spots. This in short implies that these gangs have overpowered the Police.
Gashumba also wondered how security can fail to wipe out these gangs if the UPDF can pacify Somalia, S. Sudan and some parts of DR Congo.
It should be noted that several clips indeed have been seen on social media. These also show goons beating up people and robbing them sometimes in broad daylight.

![[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.
