Gen. Mugisha Muntu has likened police to robots. The Alliance For National Transformation party president said that every officer has the power to study and analyze the atmosphere before taking any action.
Far from this, he thinks the police just simply acts without thinking or putting anything in consideration. The presidential candidate said this after the police and him failed to agree. The end result saw police kicking Muntu out of Moyo district.
Muntu said his team and him were moving as agreed by the electoral commission in a place where the required number of people at rallies were going to be. However the police failed to listen to this so he cancelled his open campaigns. Muntu then proceeded for a radio talk show.
“On arrival, we were barricaded by police, who insisted on a different plan of action, including the venue of our meeting. Their intentions as it has always been are to frustrate us into confrontation.” Gen. Mugisha said.
The presidential candidate after his radio talk show went to Yumbe district where he held a rally. He laid his plans to the people. Unlike other presidential candidates in the race, Mugisha Muntu looks like he doesn’t want anything like chaos and his name in the same sentence.
This would be so different if it was another candidate. The end result would be tear gas and riots from the both the supporters and the candidate.
However, The former army commander may be having a point likening police to robots. After most of the incidents that have happened, we call to attest to the fact that the police just acts without any kind of peaceful consultancy. We can’t however say it’s their fault only when it comes to these violent incidents.
Some times crowds get so rowdy plus their candidates. This leaves the police with no choice but to react with tear gas and shots in the air.

![[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.
