The city pastor is also facing charges of conspiracy to defraud. This is in regards to a shs4.5 billion case involving fake government scholarships. However, he has on several occasions failed to honor court summons. This prompted the prosecution lawyers to request an arrest warrant.
Whereas during the previous court session the pastor’s lawyers told the court that he had flown to South Africa for treatment and that he would be back soon. They repeated the same narrative earlier today but the prosecutors objected to the claims.
The state lawyers told the court that Mondo’s lawyers had failed to produce medical forms to confirm his admission to a hospital in South Africa.
In response, the trial grade one magistrate, Gladys Kamasanyu issued an arrested warrant against Mondo. She says it is only the warrant that can have him forcefully brought to court.
This development comes a few weeks after Mondo said he had fled the country to seek asylum in South Africa citing a witch-hunt on trumped-up charges.
On Maggie Kayima;
The same court in a related development further remanded local gospel musician Margaret Kayima alias Nabbi Omukazi to Kigo prison.
The prosecution accuses Nabbi Omukazi is of allegedly trying to help Pastor Siraj Ssemanda escape punishment. The latter apparently fleeced a number of his followers more than shs4.5 billion in fake state house scholarship programs. He is charged together with Pastor Mondo Mugisha and a one jimmy Arinaitwe.
On Thursday, the same court granted Nabbi Omukazi bail on one file but the magistrate said she could not leave Kigo prison since she has two pending files.
She will therefore stay in prison together with her two other co-accused until February 12, 2020.

![[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.
