She said she bought this land located in the same area of her residence on 11th November 1992 from the late Steven Kakoza.
Tushemerirwe also said that following the agreement, the late Kakoza requested her to travel with him to Mbarara to process the title.
However, due to old age, she entrusted her nephew Francis Twinomugisha to go with Kakoza.
However, Francis kept on deceiving her that the land title is still in process as time went on. And when she tried to inquire about the whereabouts of the title, the nephew left her home.
Beatrice added that on 13 Feb 2000, she sold the same land to Anthony Muhangi, a businessman in Kabale Municipality.
This transaction happened without a land title because she had been led to believe that the title was still being processed in Mbarara.
To the businessman’s surprise, as he started construction on the land, Francis came claiming ownership of the land. He also immediately asked Anthony to stop the construction.
From this point, Beatrice quickly rushed to Rwakaraba Police post and opened a case against the latter.
Beatrice adds that Francis has been giving her less attention whenever she tries to inquire how far he has gone with the land title.
The area village chairperson, Twinebirungi Clovis, is the one who signed the agreement in which Beatrice sold the land to Muhangi. Twinebirungi said there is no reason why Francis has kept on deceiving the very old woman.
Elly Maate, the Kigezi Police spokesperson confirmed the arrest of Twinomugisha Francis and condemned the act.

![[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.
