Speaking to kfm, one of renowned women rights activist also former ethics Minister Miria Matembe says many acts of criminality are being inflicted on Ugandans by investors but nothing is being done to stop it.

She said that women and boys are being raped and dehumanized by these investors especially on farms and in hotels thus a holistic investigation is needed now.
