However, the exact cause of his death has remained a mystery up to now. He died in his late 60s. At the time of his death, Mutumba served as the Resident District Commissioner (RDC) of Kayunga district, a position he had held since March.
Recently, Hajj Nsereko Mutumba attended the one-week RDC retreat which came to a close on July 31 at Kyankwanzi. At the retreat, Lukka Kagenyi, the deputy RDC Manafwa said Mutumba displayed high spirits and appeared to be alright. He said he even challenged the deceased to a run which he just laughed off.
Joshua Kasoma Zaake, the deputy RDC Gomba told reporters that Mutumba’s death had come as a shocker days after.
“I last spoke to Mutumba physically on Sunday when we were setting off from Kyankwanzi. I traveled with him on the bus and he told me so many stories about his time at UMSC, about the media…it is a pity he is gone,” Zaake said.
Mutumba posed as the face and voice of the Old Kampala Muslim faction headed by Mufti Shaban Mubaje for years. He left UMSC in 2020 after his contract expired.

![[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.
