Lamula Nandobya, 9, allegedly made her way into a neighbor’s home and picked charcoal without the permission of the neighbor.
Apparently, she did this with the intention of preparing breakfast. Nandobya was a student of Kangulumira CoU Primary School. She had stayed home due to the arts teachers who were on strike over a raise in their pay.
The district officer in charge of the Criminal Investigations Department, Mr Dusabe Innocent confirmed the incident. He revealed that the deceased indeed stole charcoal from Ms Salima Namuwoma to prepare tea for her family.
“When the neighbor found her stealing the charcoal, she (Salima) got infuriated and threatened to report her to her mother, Ms Fauza Kyebayenda, who had by that time gone to Amber Court in Jinja Town to sell fruits,” Mr. Dusabe said.
Following the threats to report Lamula to her mother, she felt startled and cried out begging for forgiveness. She later left the scene and entered their house like the matter had been resolved.
The elder sister to the deceased had stayed home too to watch over Lamula and their baby sibling. She followed Lamula into a room and found her attempting to take her life, and advised her against it. She then went out to attend to the baby who was outside crying.
“I never went back to the room and it was our mother, who upon returning home, asked for her whereabouts and I told her she was in that room. On checking the room. She found her dangling by the rope dead,” Rauma said.
Ms. Kyebayenda described her daughter as disciplined but wondered why she resorted to suicide.

![[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.
