“We have not seen any of the lists presented by the government of Ugandans who went missing during the 2021 elections. Yet the President directed that the names be released within two weeks. We need an explanation from the government,” He said
Ssebagala noted that in spite of the president’s acknowledgment of the government having these missing people, nothing more has been done. Adolf Mwesigye, the minister of defense had nothing much to say when Kadaga told him to address this issue.
What the minister of defense had to say;
“To my knowledge, all the security agencies have complied with the directive of the President. They have handed over the list of all the people who were arrested to Uganda Police and the Minister of Internal Affairs. These are in a better position to come and address the house and release the list,” Mwesigye said.
On hearing this, the speaker directed the security agencies to release a list by the end of today.
“The Minister of Internal Affairs is directed to come here tomorrow(today) and provide the full list of all those under custody whether under the UPDF or Uganda Police,” Kadaga said.
It is very alarming how people have kept on disappearing without any form of explanation to their relatives. More to this when most of them come back, they always appear with broken bones and injuries all over. So, what is the government communicating?

![[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.
