The victim identified as Mukisa Ronnie, was a 45-year-old City lawyer working at IBC Advocates located in Namanda Plaza, Kampala.
Mr Owoyesigyire says Mukisa was “shot multiple times in the head” by an unidentified individual over yet-to-be-known reason. He also said preliminary information received indicates that Mr Mukisa would often return home late. However, on the night of the incident, he arrived at the apartment parking lot at approximately 2300hrs and proceeded to open his gate as usual.
“After parking his dark blue Subaru Legacy with registration number UBJ 006K, Mr Mukisa proceeded to close the gate. It was during his return to the apartment that neighbours heard gunshots. This prompted them to investigate the commotion,” Owoyesigyire said in a statement on Wednesday morning.
He added that according to statements recorded from eyewitnesses, an unidentified individual was seen shooting at Mr Mukisa before briefly withdrawing. He again returned to shoot him at close range multiple times in the head. The assailant quickly fled the scene and escaped on a waiting motorcycle, the direction of which remains unknown.
Owoyesigyire also added that the police at Kajjansi Station took immediate action upon receiving the report of the incident. A team was dispatched to the scene, followed by the introduction of canines to aid in the investigation. A thorough search of the area also led to the recovery of four projectiles and cartridges.
“We urge anyone with relevant information regarding this incident to come forward and assist the police in their investigation,” he said.

![[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.
