Anti-riot police saved Sharon Kisha after abruptly landing on her while they escorted UMEME officials to Banda Zone B-3. They had gone there to conduct an operation against illegal power connections.
By the time police intervened, the said ‘boyfriend’ Joshua Chemutai, had allegedly placed a knife onto Sharon’s neck. He looked very ready to slice her throat.
According to eyewitnesses, Chemutai abandoned his machete in a nearby bush upon seeing the police lorry. Chemutai even attempted to flee the scene but local residents and grabbed him.
‘’Fortunately, police held him with the help of the local residents and later took him to Kireka Police Station,’’ a source said
A few minutes after the scuffle, the student’s landlady only known as Sarah arrived at the scene. She said she had previously warned Sharon for living with a man without reporting him to the local authorities.
‘’At first, when I saw the guy, I thought he was my tenant’s brother. But as a mature person, I later realized they were lovers, so I advised them to organize and see our LC1 Chairperson – Benson Nangabo,’’ Sarah said.
When they were interrogated, the student admitted that the suspect is her boyfriend, yet she had at first denied him.
On her account, she revealed that when she checked where she had kept her shs 500,000, she failed to find it there.
And when she asked Chemutai if he had seen the money anywhere, he instead lashed out at her and that is how the scuffle started. Later on, they handed the suspect to Kireka police to enable investigations to kickoff.

![[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.
