Agnes Igoye, the country’s Deputy chair of the National Prevention of Trafficking in Persons office, has urged the public to be on high alert and not fall prey to vices like human trafficking.

She said this while addressing the media on Monday morning saying many people have been fleeced by marketing group, Alliance In Motion Global Uganda.

“I want to address issues to do with Alliance in Motion Global. I met victims from Gulu who had been lied to that they’d be given jobs,” Igoye said.

She added, “Before getting the jobs, they were asked to pay money and recruit others. After paying money, they were given hampers to sell. You can imagine, you are being promised a job but you’re the one paying. The story is the same in many parts of the country.”

Its not the first the organisation has been put on the spot for the alleged human trafficking.

In March, Anti-human trafficking detectives at Criminal Investigations Directorate have arrested a woman accused of defrauding 200 girls of over 90 million shillings in fake job promises.

Jumia Kamwoka was picked from Komamboga, Kawempe division with 200 girls picked from various parts of the country on promises of securing for them jobs in Kampala City. Kamwoka, according to CID Spokesperson Charles Twine, is a coordinator of Alliance in Motion Global Uganda Limited.

The girls have since revealed in their statements that they were charged 450,000 each in order to secure jobs that would pay them 650,000 to 1 million shillings per month.

One of the girls said she was convinced that she could even earn 650,000 per week. She was brought to Kampala from Masaka after she failed to get money to take her back to school.
