Police is in the spot after the robbery that happened along the Mawanda road. This robbery took place during the afternoon hours.
What scared people the most is the fact that these body boda men carried out this robbery in broad day light. What does this say about security? How can seven motorcycles sandwich one motorcycle to steal his money on streets that even have cameras.
Apparently, these motorcyclists followed the Chinese guy on his motorcycle for some time. In the camera footage, they surrounded his ride to make sure he goes no where.
Each of the seven motorcycles had passengers on it which means a number of people were involved. It is said, the bag the victim was carrying had some money with an amount yet to be revealed.
First of all, as per the President’s speech, it is not allowed for motorcycles to carry passengers. So how did all these motorcyclists rode by a busy road without being caught and yet some of them were even carrying two passengers.
Isn’t this exposing the insecurity in the country? Who is protecting us if people can steal from each other even in front of cameras.

Since there is security briefing today, we expect the police to talk about this incident. We hope that unlike other days, this time round police has tangible solutions to this.
CCTV cameras have the info so it shouldn’t be hard getting these motorcyclists who did this.

![[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.
