Mukamanayamba is a popular local drink and even became more of a saying among the people.
The Police threatened the makers of this drink Mukamanaga Herbal Products with a civil suit. If they don’t pull the police clip from this advert, it would drag them to court.
The statement said that police strongly condemned the use of it’s image as content in a the controversial commercial advert.
This statement further reads that the advert deceptively suggests that police’s emergency response team of 999 patrol pick-up and it’s crew actively responded to an incident where a pack of “Mukamanayamba” drink was grabbed by an alleged thief, during the recording of the advert.
Police said that these are selfish individuals who were after their own economic gains.
Police prohibits the use of its logistics outside of work unless the IGP grants express permission.
These officers are therefore being investigated by the Professional Standards Unit for unprofessional conduct.
Police further said this advert deceives people that the police leadership endorsed the drink and supports it’s consumption on the market.
This is false and defamatory and not a representation of the police institution according to the statement.
It was from this that Police demanded they rectify the advert or else it would run to courts of law.
“As a result, we demand that the commercial firm, pulls out the police content or the entire advert, and halts any further displays on TV and Radios. Failure to do so will call for sanctions in the civil court of law. The Directorate Legal and Human Rights Services has also petitioned the Uganda Communications Commission on the unauthorized usage of our image and content in the Commercial Adverts.” A statement released by police spokesperson Fred Enanga read.
The advert garnered massive attention from people due to the creativity in it.
This drink claims to provide a number of health benefits such as boosting sexual manpower among others.

![[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.
