Rwandanese born and raised in Uganda are demanding for immediate release of Victoria University Don Dr Muganga.
They accuse of Chief of Military Intelligent of human right mistreatment of fellow Uganda.
“Dr Muganga is Ugandan of Rwanda origin born and raised in Masaka. Therefore he is fellow Uganda who should enjoy his human rights freedom freely,” Frank Gashumba Rwandanese team leader demanded.
Victoria University Vice Chancellor Dr. Lawrence Muganga was arrested from his Kampala office on Thursday
Dr Muganga was reportedly picked from his office by three plain clothed men who took him to a waiting Toyota Hiace vehicle popularly known as ‘drone’.
The UPDF spokesperson, Brig Gen Flavia Byekwaso confirmed the incident, but said that Dr Muganga was not kidnapped as alleged on social media, but rather arrested.
“Social media reports that Vice Chancellor Victoria University Dr Lawrence Muganga was kidnapped are false. He was arrested by joint Security Forces in connection with espionage and illegal stay in the country. Investigations into the matter have commenced,” Byekwaso said in a tweet.
Victoria University belongs to businessman Sudhir Ruparelia but like many of his businesses, the University is closely supervised by his son Rajiv Ruparelia.
Efforts to get comment from Victoria University director Rajiv Ruparelia were futile as his phone was completely switched off.

![[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.
