The letter said the Commissioner of Police, Paul Kato Tumuhimbise has been appointed as the new deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Directorate.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police Esther Akwango also saw a transfer in the recent police changes. She has been moved from Nairobi where she has served as a police attaché, to Ssezibwa region as regional police commander.
More to that, Senior Superintendent of police Rose Nahyua has been appointed as an administrator in the Human Resource Management Directorate. This is at the Police headquarters in Naguru.
The message further indicates that Assistant Commissioner of police Justus Twinomujuni is now deputy director in charge of economic crimes. This department is at the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) at Kibuli. He replaces Francis Olugu at this position.
The new head of trafficking in persons and international crimes against women and children is now Catherine Tusiime.
Why the numerous and swift changes;
Since his appointment as the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Maj Gen Lokech has spearheaded many changes in the Police Force. He aims at improving the level of performance and professionalism in the law and order enforcement force.
Recently, he sent almost all DPCs to the counter-terrorism police training school in Katakwi district for a 3-month refresher course.
Overstaying in one deployment had made many commanders comfortable and therefore less innovative while carrying out their tasks.
Therefore, the transfers directly aim at changing that through introducing them to a new field of 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.
