“It is alleged that today at around 4 am Shaban Musisi attempted to rape his house help, Scovia Abed, 15 years old. Scovia made an alarm that attracted, Ruth Nakkazi, 40, the suspect’s wife. The suspect out of anger held a hammer and hit the wife several times until she died. He later turned it to Scovia who also succumbed to the injuries,” Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police spokesperson Owoyesigire said.
According to the police, Shaban Musisi after killing the two women, ran to the bushes and tried to commit suicide. This is where they found and arrested him. Currently, he is in hospital undergoing treatment. The police, however, found a bottle of poison in the house and handed it over to the Government Analytical Laboratory for analysis.
“We have recovered a bottle containing suspected poison in his house and subsequently forwarded it to the Government Analytical Laboratory for analysis. We’ve also recovered the hammer used and taken as an exhibit,”
Owoyesigire also says the bodies of the women are in Mulago right now for postmortem.

![[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.
