President Museveni has come out to call on Ugandans to be vigilant after a bomb blast over the weekend that claimed one person’s life at a pub in Komamboga a Kampala suburb.
Museveni had earlier condemned the act by the ‘pigs’ as he loves to call murderers. He also added that although the revelers were breaking the COVID-19 SOPs, they can’t tolerate the criminality.
“As I said earlier, I condemn the action of the “parasite pigs” that planted a bomb at Digida Pork Point where they sell pork, sodas & alcohol. Although these people were breaking curfew hours & using the place as a bar, still the criminality of the perpetrators must be condemned,” Mr Museveni said.
Gen Museveni went ahead to warn the perpetrators of these heinous crimes that they will bring them to book. He further said that there are those who are working from abroad to destabilize the country.
Museveni said that they will deal with them and asked their supporters not to make noise when they arrest them.
“With those operating outside Uganda, we shall work with the brother African countries, to go for them. Let their supporters, then, not start shouting that we are hunting innocent people,” Mr Museveni further said.
He proceeded to call upon the public to be vigilant and report anything suspicious. The government has made this call numerous times to the public.
“All we ask from the public is vigilance and prompt reporting to the nearest police post of anything suspicious,” Mr Museveni signed out.
Meanwhile, American newspaper agency Reuters has reported that the Islamic militant group ISIS claimed responsibility for this bomb blast. However, Police denies this saying that it’s is an internal matter.

![[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.
