The Deputy Speaker vowed that these will face it rough with her once indicted. She gave this order to the Minister in charge of security, Hon Jim Muhwezi.
Hon Anita Among added that she also wants the list of the perpetrators and what punishment the respective agencies have handed down to them.
“I direct the minister in charge of Security to produce the list of all Citizens who have been shot and mishandled by the security agencies. I also want the list of perpetrators and what action the Security agencies have taken against them,” Hon Anita Among said.
The last few years have seen countless people dying, others sustaining permanent injuries, all courtesy of security agencies. These escalated in the lockdown while different security agencies were enforcing the COVID-19 guidelines.
More murders from these organizations occurred in the pre and post-election period. They still continue to go ahead even up to now.
Security agencies have whisked away a lot of political supporters, especially from the Opposition party NUP to unknown destinations. Some of these return maimed, with brutal scars while others don’t return and their whereabouts remain unknown.
Despite the condemnation from different actors both foreign and in the country, the acts have gone ahead to happen. We can’t tell whether the Deputy Speaker’s move will yield anything.
This is because it’s not the first time the government is declaring punishment for these criminals.

![[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.
