Two wounds he said were inflicted upon him by a flat iron can be seen across his chest. According to him, the people who kidnapped him queried him about Bobi Wine’s plots to overthrow the government. Whenever he heard no answer, torturing instruments would be applied to his body.
As fury, condemnation and anger goes ahead throughout the public, security has ever seeing him. The defense spokesperson said that after a thorough check, it was established that Mwesigwa Eric wasn’t under any security agency. They, therefore, advised him to visit the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC). This together with the Police will launch thorough investigations.
“Having done a thorough check on all security agencies, it has been established that a one Mwesigwa Eric was not in the hands of any security agency. We advise him to go to the UHRC and report. Or the police so that we can commence an intensive investigation,” the statement on social media read.
However, NUP has already come out to trash this statement from the UPDF spokesperson. NUP secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya said that this is a typical lie as expected. He cited how Bobi Wine a few years ago was accused of having guns in his hotel room in Arua.
Rubongoya listed several more incidents and said that nothing therefore they issue can be believed. Despite President Museveni saying that torture is illegal in Uganda, it has continued.

![[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.
