He says it is on the rise of late on social media and no one seems to care to regulate it.
“UCC needs to up its game in terms of fighting hate speech. We are talking about hate speech now but tomorrow we shall be talking about obscenity on social media. We need to manage this excitement.”
He says there is need to examine where the hate speech is coming from but also sensitize people about it. According to him, most times when these people are arrested for hate speech, they are very apologetic.
He also blamed the excitement of technology that just prompts people to say whatever they want without considering the feelings of other people.
Kimosho says much as there is freedom of speech, people should know how it works according to the constitution.
“Article 29 of the Uganda Constitution guarantees the freedom of speech and expression, but Article 43 puts limitations on the enjoyment of this freedom.”
“Everyone has freedoms of free speech and expression. Under normal circumstances, no one should claim they have given you the freedom to speak. The challenge is people tend to abuse this freedom under the cover of “I have my freedom,” Kimosho added.

![[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.
