The State Minister for Gender, Labour and Social Development, Rtd Col Charles Engola was also murdered in the same area. Just a few days later, a social media blogger was also gunned down by an anonymous hitman.
Not forgetting that the late police AIGP Felix Kaweesi was murdered in Kulambiro. Minister for transport Gen Katumba Wamala also survived an assassination attempt which claimed his daughter in Kulambiro. Kulambiro is just the next of kin to Kyanja.
Since these incidents, the public has been raising concerns about Kyanja. In fact, some have marked it as a red flag as one of the areas to live in because of the rising insecurity.
However, the area LC1 chairman said that these are just out of hand small cases.
He said that as the area, they had no problem with Isma as their resident. The blogger’s clashes were on social media.
On top of that Kyanja consists of over 50,000 people. Therefore, these segregated cases shouldn’t scare anyone from deciding to live there.
However, he added that in case one has people putting a price on their head, there isn’t much they can do since they are also not aware.
Kyanja and the areas surrounding it such as Kisasi, Komamboga, Kira among others have in the past turned into a breed of guns and insecurity.
For the fact that they are filled with wealthy and dignified people, it makes the areas an easy target.

![[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.
