Preliminary information indicates that on Sunday, January 07, 2024, at around 08:00 pm, Ms Kataike was cooking food with her child while the husband (suspect) was in the house resting. However, when the child started crying, the suspect requested the mother to take her (the child) to the bedroom while the wife kept cooking food.
Shortly, Kataike narrates that she had the child crying loudly. Then the man came telling her that she had defecated on the bed. When Kataike went to clean the baby, she saw some blood drops on the bed sheets as well as in the baby’s private parts. When she asked the husband, he claimed the baby might have been injured by a stick.
Kataike did not accept which forced her to call neighbours and also inform the LC I Chairperson. The LC then took Meta Robert (suspect) to the police for action. They recorded statements from the wife and witnesses around.
“The victim and the suspect were examined by the police surgeon. The case file was opened on CRB 006/2024. The suspect was charged with aggravated defilement and is currently in police custody,” said the Bukedi North Region Police Spokesperson SP Samuel Semewo in a police statement.
He added that the suspected faces a charge of aggravated defilement. He will be arraigned in the courts of law once his case file is sanctioned by the district state attorney.
Sources have since established that Kataike and the suspect had been married for just four months. The former came to stay with him with the baby when she was a year and a few months old.

![[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.
