His family members made the announcement during the early hours of Monday morning. This is according to National Unity Platform (NUP) Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya.
Rubongoya shared a tweet revealing that he last talked to the deceased on Saturday and revealed that he sounded fine. He also revealed that they had planned to meet during the week.
It should be remembered that unknown gunmen arrested the deceased on 6th September traveling in a drone. They kept him in a non disclosed location until September 13 when they arraigned him before court.
He subsequently got charged with prompting sectarianism but later got released. He has since then been home treating the injuries he sustained during his arrest.
Ever since his release, Jakana has only been able to move around with the help of clutches. He told tales of his torture experience during his abduction.
Jakana contested in 2021 Parliamentary elections but lost and had since become a strong government critic.
His father, Hajj Nadduli recently attacked the government over Jakana detention calling it a deliberate and intended move to humiliate his family.

![[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.
