IGP Ochola has warned campaigning candidates against creating chaos and violating Electoral Commission guidelines and the ministry of health SOPs.
The IGP said they will not tolerate lawlessness and hooliganism in the name of political activity. He said this while addressing the country on state security on different television stations.
IGP Ochola also assured the country that the police will deal with any kind of hooliganism properly. He used the same platform and warned people who use social media and traditional media to instigate strikes and unrest among people.
He added that the government will not accept this in the county. They will decisively handle this matter as the law demands.
Martin Ochola also talked about the way politicians are carrying on with their campaigns and how it is going to cost the country in relation to COVID 19. This address could not go down without a review on the Kyagulanyi arrest chaos.
He assured the public that investigations are under way. But he noted that there are some people who are interfering with these investigations.
The protests happened about 3 weeks ago and up to now there has not been any substantial statement from the police about what really happened. Is it incompetence? Is something not working out?
There is no denying that the report has taken a lot of time and if the IGP says investigations are still underway it means the country still has to wait.

![[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.
