The rate at which civilians are dying by guns is spiralling out of control and has to be addressed as soon as possible.
Whether it’s attributed to security personnel’s lack of professionalism or the civilians’ defiance, it has to be brought down. Murders keep occurring over and over again especially since they declared the first lockdown due to covid 19.
Rumor had it first that unknown gunmen assassinated the late journalist. However, Kampala Police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigire confirmed that an LDU officer is responsible
“Kagolo is dead but he was not assassinated by unknown gunmen as social media reports earlier claimed. He was shot after a scuffle with an LDU.”
Robert Kagolo buried his younger brother in Masaka two days ago. This was after he died tragically. Now Kagolo himself is also dead. This tragic incident took place at his brother’s place.
UJA also released a remorseful statement about their former president. They sent their condolences to the family of the late.
“We regret the sudden death of our ex-president and Star FM journalist Robert Kagolo who has been gunned down this evening.
The news coming in to us indicates that Kagolo was gunned down in Kasengejje and later pronounced dead at St Joseph health facility in Wakiso upon arrival…”
May the late’s soul rest in peace.

![[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.
