He has therefore urged the people of greater Masaka to have hope in them because they are going to bring down all the criminals behind the killings.
Currently, the AIGP is in Masaka. This is part of his rectification and ideological orientation tour in the region. He met with teams of senior officers from Kalungu district and other areas.
Apparently, the police is also using the community policing approach to talk to the police officers.
“The intelligence is on ground. Operations are going well. The police is also using the community policing approach to talk to the police officers and the public to mobilise them so that they are the first line of defence and protection against the criminals,” Kasingye Said.
Asan Kasingye pointed out that much as politicians are accusing the police of doing nothing, they won’t talk much.
“Politicians have been saying the police is doing nothing. The public deserves an explanation. We are not going to be talking much about our operations, but we need the public to know that we are doing something. I want the people of Masaka to know that this will end, and those involved in killing people will all be caught, and they will face the law,” he said.
Meanwhile, Asan Kasingye says that the investigators are doing a good job and 11 people have so far appeared in court.
They will process more case files will be processed to face court so he called for increased trust. He has encouraged media and the public not to speak fear among the Masaka people but rather to instill hope.

![[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.
