Many are in sorrow and mourning the death of their colleague even though the cause of death has not yet been established. The burial of the deceased will take place today in Butambala.
In the past two weeks, the Kyambogo University fraternity also lost a finalist and Warden of North Hall, the late Mr. Gabriel Okeny. The warden passed on last Friday.
In a related case, a Makerere law student made news on Twitter last year after she committed suicide. Natasha Byengyeru, first posted alarming posts on her different social media platforms.
Most of the people thought she was probably looking for likes when she threatened to commit suicide. Tasha’s cause of suicide is currently not known though some say she was going through depression.
In her first post, she asked for help using her Twitter handle. After a while, she posted something about suicide, and maybe those who reached out did so but late.
“Anyone please tell me the easiest way to commit suicide 😭😭😭😭. I can’t take it anymore 😭😭😭” her post read.
After a while, she posted a set of tablets that she supposedly used to commit suicide. Before this though, there were a lot of posts on her WhatsApp status that people took lightly maybe.
These and many more are the kind of student deaths that authorities have since failed to explain.

![[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.
