He told reporters that security is currently experiencing a spike in reports of fraud hence urging everyone to be vigilant.
“Our cybercrime unit is getting an increase in complaints of victims of cybercrime fraudsters and conmen,” Enanga said.
Apparently, conmen are taking advantage of things like online shopping offers, ticketing, and charitable donations. They are using these among other festive season-associated ‘deals’ to defraud victims.
“We want to warn the public about fraudsters as we enter the festive season,” he said.
With December only a few days away, the holiday season has started in high gear. The spirit is being spread as decorations have already commenced.
Many corporate and business buildings in and around the city have put up decorations and stores are busy with consumers. More to that, holiday parties have begun some of which include Christmas carols as it is a time for celebration.
Enanga, during the Monday presser, cautioned that this season usually witnesses an increase in robberies and fraud. He, therefore, urged everyone to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings.
Enanga said there haven’t been any issues with the sports fans watching World Cup from various places but he cautioned them as well.
“We want to call upon all football lovers, proprietors of venues where others go to watch football, not to let down their guards and be aware of their surroundings,” Enanga said.
The World Cup tournament entered the ninth day on Monday, November 28, 2022 and will be going on until mid-December.

![[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.
