Women rights actors want officers who abused Wakiso DPC apprehended.

04 June 2025
Government is urged to expeditiously investigate and take action against Soldiers attached to the presidential taskforce on land matters and environment who abused the commander of Wakiso police division Superintendent of Police Esther Kiiza
The incident occurred on Monday evening and it later emerged that the soldiers wanted to force superintendent Kiiza to deploy police officers to support a land eviction.
Superintendent Kiiza is reported to have rejected this citing lack of a court order which is essential for any eviction to take place before she was put under gun point
The incident caused tension and traffic jam along Hoima road before the soldiers were arrested from Nansana municipality by a joint security task force
Women`s rights organization women`s Probono Initiative says that the actions of the soldiers undermine women leadership in armed forces on top of demeaning women.
Julia Kemigisha is a Legal officer at the organization, says this might discourage other women from joning forces hence the need to apprehend those behind the act.
