Kirumira was first detained at Katwe Divisional Police station immediately after he was arrested but later paraded before the police tribunal at Naguru.
He was later sent to the railway detention facility in Nsambya until February 6 for further hearing.
However, newslexpoint has come to know that the senior officer was transferred to Nalufenya. This was confirmed by kirumira’s wife.
She said: “I got the worst and saddest news that my husband was last night (Thursday) taken to Nalufenya.”
The transfer of Kirumira to Nalufenya was also confirmed by police spokesperson Emilian Kayima.
“Nalufenya is a detention centre where suspects of high profile crimes or those who can’t be handled by one region because of jurisdiction are kept,” Kayima said last year
Nalufenya is one of the feared detention centre in Uganda. It became more demotic last year after AIGP Andrew Felix Kaweesi murder suspects came out with wounds saying had been inflicted on them at the centre.
The 2017 report by Human Rights Watch, a US based body released last month showed that many people have been tortured in various places including Nalufenya in Jinja district but government has ‘consistently failed to investigate cases of illegal detention and torture of suspects’ at the detention centre.

![[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.
