Newslex Point News in Uganda, Uganda news
Well, If we are to have a public debate about the Uganda police currently, the decry would be passed that the Uganda police is not acting as its role states; “To keep Law and Order”.

But, apparently the Uganda police Boss Gen Kale Kayihura, said, “The force should be overwhelmed because it’s doing miracles and wonders within the country.”
According to daily monitor, Gen Kale Kayihura said this when he was unveiling a team of security experts from Algeria, saying Ugandans should be proud of the police for providing security despite its fewer personnel compared to other countries.
We can’t really criticize Gen Kale Kayihura, but to some extent, I can somehow supplement to his statement. Yes, the police force in Uganda has actually tried in doing their work though not in the level of expectation.
Follow @Newslex pointPicking up sticks and frogging the natives of this country is really a shame to the Uganda police and for really it doesn’t make it a force creating miracles in Uganda.
If Gen Kale Kayihura could imagine waking up in the morning and tell his family I have gone to work then after, in the later evening you come back with bruises narrating how you were humiliated by police for just standing at the sideways as police was escorting Dr. Kizza Besigye to his home place.
Gen Kayihura and other senior police officers are expected to appear at Makindye Magistrate’s Court today to plead to charges of torture for beating up supporters of Dr Kizza Besigye on July 12 and 13.

![[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.
