Political analyst, social commentator, and businessman Frank Gashumba has come out to speak about the cause of death of the late Tamale Mirundi. It should be noted that the latter passed away from a lung infection on Tuesday night at Kisubi Hospital.
A lot of people in the nation such as Speaker of Parliament, Hon Anita Among, CDF Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Bobi Wine among others have come out to pay tribute to him.
More people are still coming out to pay their respects and condolences to the family. However, according to Gashumba, it wasn’t the lung infections that led to the death of the controversial Mirundi.
It was rather depression and too many thoughts.
Gashumba said that ever since Mirundi was fired from State House like a ‘dog’, he’s never been the same. He lost the direction and touch of his life.
Besides, the life he was living financially was a desperate one. On top of that, Gashumba blasted the government for failing to help him when he was still alive but attempted to do so when it was already late. He, therefore, urged people to learn to celebrate when they are still alive.
Read his statement below;
“I got to know Tamale Mirundi about 24 years ago and we have been close. However, depression and thoughts are what led to his death. Ever since he was fired from State House like a dog, he has never been the same. On several occasions, I have met him with his car not even having fuel. His salary was just peanuts yet his peers that he was better than were earning much more. This government is also a joke. They tried to treat him when it was already late. Why couldn’t they do the same when he was still alive?” 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.
