According to them, this is the only way to ensure the highest standards of dignity for all. The remarks followed the double explosions that rocked the city, killing seven people and injuring over 30.
Mariam Wangadya, the chairperson of the commission in a statement said this bomb incident followed a number of other terror incidents.
She notes that this comes at the time when Ugandans are remembering a dark moment last year. It was about the same time last year when 54 people died during riots in Kampala and nearby places.
As a commission, she says they strongly condemn every act of violence and terror. According to her, these acts only want to cause fear in the hearts of men.
“We commiserate with the families that have lost their loved ones and pray for the speedy recovery of all the injured. The Commission reiterates that the right to life as enshrined in article 22(1) of the Constitution is inherent and the most important right, without which all other rights cannot be realized,” said Wangadya.
She encouraged Ugandans to use peaceful means to solve problems. She also encouraged them to be law-abiding because it is in fact their duty.
“It is the duty of every citizen of Uganda to be law-abiding, respect the rights and freedoms of others, and co-operate with lawful agencies in the maintenance of law and order. ”

![[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.
