General Muhoozi, who holds a prominent position within the Ugandan security forces, expressed his concern over the incident and the potential implications it may have on the country’s stability.
As part of his duties, he has urged law enforcement agencies to swiftly uncover the truth behind the attack and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The shooting incident occurred on the evening of January 3, when Pastor Bugingo was leaving his church premises in Kampala. Unidentified assailants opened fire on his vehicle, causing panic and chaos in the vicinity.
Fortunately, the pastor managed to escape unharmed, thanks to the swift response of his security detail.
The motives behind the attack remain unclear at this stage. However, given Pastor Bugingo’s prominence and influence as the head of the House of Prayer Ministries International, speculations have arisen regarding potential religious or political motivations behind the attempted assassination.
With a large following and a controversial reputation, Pastor Bugingo has faced criticism and controversy in the past, making him a figure of public interest.
General Muhoozi’s call for an investigation reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of its citizens, as well as its determination to maintain law and order.
By seeking answers and holding those responsible accountable, the authorities aim to send a clear message that such acts of violence will not be tolerated within the country.
As the investigation unfolds, it is hoped that the truth behind the attack on Pastor Bugingo will be revealed, providing the necessary closure for both the pastor and the Ugandan public.
The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by public figures and the need for enhanced security measures to protect individuals who play significant roles within society.
In the face of this unfortunate event, Ugandans unite in condemning acts of violence and affirming their commitment to a peaceful and harmonious nation.
The government’s swift response and General Muhoozi’s call for an investigation offer reassurance that justice will prevail, and those responsible for such heinous acts will be brought to book.

![[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.
