The journalist while appearing on a Twitter space hosted by Solomon Sserwanja alleged that the current minister of information Dr Chris Baryomunsi told him that the late MP, Cerinah Nebanda was killed by the state.
Moses Walugembe in his submission said that the NRM government has been built on torture. He went ahead to assert that Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba personally took part in the torture of author Kakwensa Rukirabashaija.
It was then that he let the cat out of the bag. The journalist revealed that he’s appalled and shocked by Baryomunsi’s behavior towards defending the government.
This is because it was the same Baryomunsi who told Walugembe and others that the state had murdered Nebanda.
“I’m disturbed by the way Chris Baryomunsi defends this regime yet he used to criticize it. I remember we one day sat in his car after the death of MP Cerinah Nebanda and he told us that the state had killed her. He frankly told us how politics works and said that it was the government responsible for her death and he well knew about it,” Walugembe said.
The late Cerinah Nebanda was the woman MP for Butaleja. She died at the age of 24 and her death arose political controversy which still flies in the air up to now.
A postmortem claimed that she had died from drug abuse. This is because experts found cocaine, heroin, alcohol and other substances in her bloodstream.
The then speaker Rt Hon Rebecca Kadaga however rejected this report.
The NRM chairman Mr Museveni came out to refute claims that it was the party to which she belonged that killed her.
According to an article written by The Observer, they poisoned Nebanda because she was a strong government critic.
There was also a report that ran in the Daily Monitor saying authorities arrested the family pathologist of the late MP on his way to South Africa.
This is where he was going to run a different postmortem from the one produced by the government. Authorities later arrested Nebanda’s boyfriend, a one Adam Sulaiman Kalungi in Kenya.
They then extradited him to Uganda in relation to the legislator’s death. However, in 2014, they acquitted him of all the charges surrounding Nebanda’s death.
Despite Walugembe’s submission, there is fear that the state might pick him up for questioning. Consequently, they might gruesomely torture him as has become the norm of all government critics.

![[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.
