Mr. Kawuki made this move after assassins rained bullets on Gen Katumba Wamala’s vehicle early this month. The assassination attempt also claimed lives of Gen Katumba’s daughter and driver. Kawuki who was nearby despite Katumba’s hesitation to sit on the boda took him to the hospital.
Yesterday the 89.2 CBS FM programs director handed a brand new motorcycle to Kawuki flanked by CBS presenter Patricko Mujuuka.
“We have been running an advert for a week now on how to award Kawuki. We managed to collect an amount of shs 5 million which we have used to buy Kawuki a new motorcycle. This is to reward his good heart because many people no longer want to help these days.” CBS programs manager said.
Kawuki who was excited for this gift said he did the gesture of helping Katumba minus expecting nothing in return. There was controversy however after a one Hakim Kasibante showed up saying he was the one who had helped Gen Katumba.
Kawuki however later showed up with the right proof such as a jacket that had blood and number plate of his boda.

![[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.
