The warning came after an incident involving five officers caught on camera receiving a bribe from a motorist. This incident happened near the Riham factory along Bombo road.
Police Constables Pele Boni (driver), Samuel Abedi Kwel, Kevin Bwire, Ivan Kirya, and Special Police Constable (SPC) Abraham Enatu are the ones in hot soup and are currently waiting to face the police disciplinary court.
Another officer, Corporal Mugume David had to be the car commander of the patrol car the officers were using. They also arrested him for absconding from duty.
Fred Enanga, the police spokesperson said the officers could either be cautioned or even be dismissed altogether. This will depend on the court’s decision.
However, Enanga revealed that the officers will not go down alone. They are also looking for the motorist. He also said Kawempe police is to answer for its crimes.
He stressed that police are now hunting for the motorists who were captured on camera driving motor vehicles under Reg no.UAR 740 (Fuso Box body), UBE 784N (pick up), UBE 431B (Fuso), UAF 322C (Canter), UBF 161X (Toyota Hiace-Drone) UBJ 114A (Toyota Hiace), and UBD 974E (TATA).
“These also committed a crime and are part of the problem that we are trying to fight,” he added.
He stressed that the police continues to put in effort to get the public together to stop such kind of indiscipline. He also stressed that they have already submitted the CCTV footage as part of the evidence to PSU.
As more evidence, they found officers with a note of sh50, 000, and other small notes of sh5000, sh2000, and sh1000. Enanga said any motorists they will catch giving bribes will equally account for bribing an officer on duty.

![[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.
