The Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police spokesperson Mr Luke Owoyesigire said on Thursday morning at about 12:46am police in Makindye received a disturbing phone call from locals of Luwafu Zone that a disorganized group of people had gathered at Pallaso’s home.
“Our teams arrived to the scene and found the allegations to be true, a group of over 30 people at Luwafu zone in the home of Mayanja Pius Aka Palaso had gathered, playing loud music, drinking and not following the safety guidelines issued by the ministry of health on curfew and public gatherings,” Owoyesigyire says.
The team commander however approached Pallaso and his group to reduce the volume of their loud music and reminded them of the coronavirus guidelines which doesn’t allow gathering similar to theirs. As they continued address them, the singer’s group became violent which prompted police to apprehend Pallaso and his brother identified as Kasozi Henry.
When Kasozi got arrested, Pallaso managed to take off with police Handcuffs on his hands and as we talk right now, police is searching for him on charges of obstruction and escaping from lawful custody.

![[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.
