Some people are even suggesting that probably sex should just be illegal too.
The sexual offences include; Rape and incest with life imprisonment. Attempted rape will attract 8 years of jail term. Aggravated rape comes with death penalty. Indecent assault attracts 14 year. Gesture /sound, 1 year imprisonment. Indecent communication comes with 7 years of imprisonment or shs6M or both. Sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, exploitation of detainees, 10 years or 40 million. To mention but a few.
We can’t deny that sexual offences have increased and may be this will work. Police report showed that most sexual offenses were committed by parents.
There are so many girls who came out to say their fathers raped them. If only these laws are greatly considered so much will change in our society.
Obviously, some people are saying there are more pressing issues and in any case to them the laws are unrealistic.
“Wednesday was my worst news date this week. Couldn’t believe all those old heads were so active on these laws and for such a long time. once its injustice being mentioned you will think we got only Zaake in parliament” one tweeted.
Hopefully, some people don’t make this a money making act and yet that’s not it’s intention.

![[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.
