Sobbi was arrested on Monday together with two other colleagues including Shafiq Kasozi and Twaha Tim while conducting an interview with NBSTV at Rose gardens in Kyengera
“We released Paddy Sserunjogi and two others arrested recently on bond as investigations into the allegations of murder and working with police officers in commission of crimes,”Police spokesperson Emilian Kayima has said in a statement this afternoon.
“This doesn’t stop the investigation and whoever has a complaint against the trio.”
In an interview with the media recently, the group openly confessed of working with some police officers in terrorising the city and its residents.
However Kayima said that anyone with information about crimes committed by the trio is welcome at CID headquarters to have their statements recorded for appropriate handling.
“The three suspects will be reporting back at KMP Hqtrs on Friday next week.”
The statement by the police mouthpiece seems to contradict with his boss, the Inspector General of Police, Gen.Kale Kayihura.
Gen.Kayihura told the defence committee in parliament on Wednesday morning that Sobbi, as is commonly referred to has cases to answer and that police is investigating how he got out of police cells in Nalufenya.
“Those asking questions about release of Sobbi should direct them to the minister of security, “Kayihura said before alleging that Lt.Gen.Henry Tumukunde has on many occasions involved himself in police operations.

![[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.
