Caroline Muzaki, 34, also known as “Namugisu”, a resident of Bubolwa ‘B’ Village, Bulumbi Sub-county, Busia District was arrested after her 28-year-old husband, Egesa Kulambano pinned her on allegedly defiling the minor.
While appearing before Busia Chief Magistrate, Mr Thomas Okoth, the court heard that between August last year and February 24, 2024, Muzaki defiled a 17-year-old boy.
“I leant that my wife was having an affair with this young boy. Even when I warned her, she could not back off,” Egesa said during a court hearing session on June 12.
“I pretended to be away from home and waited until night hours. Only to return home and find the boy already in my bedroom.”
Egesa said he led the minor to Bulumbi Police Post where he formally filed a case of trespass. Bukedi Region Police spokesperson, Mr Moses Mugwe, said after the case of trespass was reported, a further inquiry established that the said trespasser was a juvenile who had been defiled by the complainant’s wife.
“We established that the accused was juvenile and preferred a case of defilement against Muzaki,” Mr Mugwe said.
The young boy was released and handed over to his parents after police said he is underage and needed protection from abusers.
The decision to grant the juvenile amnesty from any prosecution irked Egesa. He blamed the police for not dwelling on the case of trespass but instead chose to charge his wife over defilement.
Egesa’s wife, Muzaki was not allowed to enter any plea because she had no legal representation. She was subsequently remanded to Masafu Prisons until June 27.

![[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.
