Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The NRM Secretary General, Richard Todwong has assured spouses of the police officers of the government\u2019s commitment to improving their well-being.<\/b><\/p>\n

SG Todwong was on Thursday hosting a section of leaders for police officers\u2019 spouses within the barracks of Kampala Metropolitan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI pledge my commitment to follow up and work with relevant authorities on all the issues presented to me like poor housing units, unreliable power to facilitate small scale businesses, lack of capital and skills to engage in production,\u201d Todwong said as he responded to some of the concerns raised in the meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the many activities we have been doing across the country, we invited you here to hear from you and work with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the party decided to interact with the police officers\u2019 spouses to find a way forward and also support their endeavours and activities in the barracks for the welfare of their families.<\/p>\n

On the issue of SACCOs, Todwong said it is good they are already in place, adding that the ruling party will recommend them to government for support.<\/p>\n

He commended the ladies for supporting the NRM party and their spouses when on duty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work that officers do is stressful and I believe you are loving wives who handle them well when they return home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Intimidation<\/b><\/p>\n

The women leaders reported to the Secretary General cases of harassment and mistreatment of officers whose wives support the NRM party.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur husbands are often harassed because we love and support President Museveni. This is unfair because we have the right to choose who to support,\u201d the women leaders said.<\/p>\n

In his response, Todwong warned perpetrators of such acts to stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody has the power to intimidate an NRM supporter. We shall investigate this to its logical conclusion and culprits will understand that NRM is the party in power.\u201d<\/p>\n

The women leaders who were coordinated by Achola Jenifer Odong appealed to government to empower them with capital through SACCOs where they can borrow money at minimal interest, establish secondary schools for their children and also put in place skilling centres to equip them with skills for production.<\/p>\n

The director of Mobilisation at NRM, Rosemary Seninde said she will establish a direct link with officers\u2019 spouses to intensify recruitment of supporters within the police barracks.<\/p>\n

Maj(Rtd) Awich Polar, the director of External Affairs said as a former military officer, he understands the plight of officers and their spouses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe care for you and pledge to sort out your concerns, especially raising the salaries of the officers.\u201d<\/p>\n
