Enanga said that “The police leadership has strongly condemned the use of its traffic image as content. This is in a controversial commercial advert, of its juice, popularly known as “JESA JUS.”
Apparently, this TV Ad, ‘deceptively’ suggests that a traffic officer, during a normal traffic enforcement routine, stopped a driver for inspection. However, he is immediately compromised, with a pack of JESA JUS.
This is by the panicky driver and children. He then leaves them to proceed without inspection in his words and in his words said “You can go”, after taking the “JESA JUS.”
According to the police spokesperson, this Ad suggested that the officer is corrupt and can easily be bribed with a pack of Jesa Jus.
This therefore sends a wrong image to the public and the children who were in the car. It means that people can bribe their way out of traffic violations to these kids according to Enanga.
Read his statement below;
“The Ad made reference to the traffic police, as being corrupt and easily bribed by “JESA JUS”. The driver is seen, allegedly bribing a traffic officer with a packet of JESA JUS in front of children and lets them off the hook. It therefore, draws a link between the traffic officer, the driver and children. The driver and children are depicted as traffic violators”.
However, social media users quickly took to this statement. They said that there is nothing new about this.
This is because traffic officers along different roads are allegedly corrupt. Many people attested to have bribed many of the Force’s officers with the pettiest of items.

![[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.
