Joseph Kabuleta, the president of National Economic Empowerment Dialogue (NEED) has said police want to parade him as a member of ADF. Allied Democratic Forces is a rebel group that has been breeding issues for Uganda.
Last week, armed security personnel dressed in civilian clothes raided Kabuleeta’s offices in search of him. Unfortunately, he was not there in Bugolobi.
“The plan was to arrest me and unveil me as a member of ADF. And the treason charges start. We knew that plan and there is nothing Museveni can do. His script is the same. He has used it over and over again. We know the power, they can plant a gun in my car, office,” he said.
“As thugs raided my office premises, traumatized my workers, arrested one media person and attempted to break into my private office, I was somewhere in a serene environment enjoying my cappuccino and reading a book. Stop the loot,” he added.
However, Police spokesperson, Fred Enanga says this is not the reason why they want Kabuleta. He says Kabuleeta is being accused of offensive communication.
Lately, Kabuleeta has been criticizing the vaccination of children against Covid-19. According to him, it has so many negative effects, especially on children. Enanga emphasized though, that all they need is his statement.
“There are a number of measures that we use, we can summon someone to the police but we can also go and make an arrest with or without a warrant at his premises or offices. So we didn’t find him at his place. We want him to report to CID headquarters so that we can get his statement against allegations of communicating in an offensive manner,” he said.

![[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.
