Police has released CCTV camera footage as investigations on the attempted murder of Gen Katumba starts. This footage was collected from nearby buildings and nearby places which show the suspected assassins. These suspects according to the footage, were traveling using two motorcycles.
A statement released by Maj Gen Paul Lokech, the deputy Inspector General of Police, described the different places where the suspects were seen.
“The assailants who were four in number were riding on two motorcycles with concealed number plates, pulled up next to Gen Katumba Wamala’s car and shot several bullets that instantly killed Nantongo Brenda and Haruna Kayondo.”
“The assailants trailed the motor vehicle as it left the home of Gen Katumba Wamala at Bulabira – Najjera. Until when they reached at a remote area located 4kms away along the Kisota –Kulambiro road,” the statement read.
Maj. Gen. Paul Loketch, however, says this was an organized crime with a targeted person who survived fortunately.
“We consider such attacks as a form of organized crime, with a potential of extremism, aimed at undermining the prevailing stability. We are, however, confident that we shall identify the suspects and take very resolute enforcement action against them in accordance with the law.”
There have been so many people who have died in such a way. Unfortunately, police has never released any substantial report. For instance, Muhammad Kirumira, AIGP Felix Kaweesi, Ibrahim Abiriga and many others. Police released footage of assailants but even so, they have nothing tangible in regards to the cases.

![[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.
