ASP Elly Maate, the Kigezi Region Police Spokesperson identified the first victim as Silver Rubanda. Silver was a 61-year-old resident of Rwabatunga cell Noozi parish, Rwamucucu sub-county.
Rubanda is said to have left his home on Tuesday morning and headed on a drinking spree till 11 pm when he started his journey home. This time, some people heard Rubanda making an alarm and his wife said he never made it home.
On Wednesday morning, Maate added that passersby discovered Rubanda’s body laying lifeless a few meters from his home. He also had a rope tied around his neck with which the killer strangled him.
It should be noted that residents suspected 24-year-old Aloysius Byamukama of committing the unspeakable act.
This is because the two have been embroiled in a dispute. The dispute had been pending judgment on the fateful day hence the suspicions from other residents.
After discovering the body, the residents hunted Byamukama down and badly assaulted him. The police eventually rescued him from his punishers and rushed him to Mbaro Health Center IV. He, unfortunately, passed away a few hours after arriving at the Health Center.
A case of strangling and murder by the angry mob were registered at Rukiga Central Police station under reference numbers CRB 167 &168/2023 respectively.

![[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.
