While appearing on NBS TV’s Face-Off program, Kulayigye said that some journalists think they are so professional.
This forces them to go beyond their reach in the search for news. Kulayigye said that these journalists should differentiate between getting wind of information and stealing it.
“Some journalists think they are very professional, and they go beyond what they are supposed to do. There is a difference between getting wind of information and stealing it,” Kulayigye said.
Uganda and Africa has some of the worst records when it comes to press freedom. A number of journalists have been brutalized at the hands of security forces in their search for news.
Most of these journalists are actually always lawfully carrying out their jobs. The security operatives then reign down on them and beat them mercilessly.

Kulayigye also said that whatever happens in the army is the soldiers’ business.
Therefore, the outside world has no business in it unless it affects the outside world. He also added that as the UPDF, they are very solid.
The ex-representative of the armed forces in Parliament also enlightened about the famous standby class one order. This was rumored to have been declared by President Museveni last month.
It was after rumors circulated that some soldiers were unhappy with the first son Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s presidential ambitions whilst still being active in the army.
Kulayigye said that this means that a soldier doesn’t get to live their workstation. This is unless they have permission from the Commander in Chief. He further added that the Force is in such a situation every Christmas season.

![[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.
