Makerere Community Church’s Pastor Martin Ssempa has claimed that he survived the assassination over the weekend. It should be noted that the vocal and controversial Pastor some time ago revealed that unknown people were trailing him.
He said that his life was in danger and requested for prayers and security.
Additionally, the Pastor said that he was going to take some time away from the public eye to hide in a bunker he had built himself. The Pastor says that he left his home in Kasanje to do some construction work.
He was then waylaid by 6 men in two cars and he narrowly survived death. The Pastor thinks that it’s either the military who are working with land grabbers to eliminate him. Or it’s the perverts.
It should be recalled that the Pastor is one of the vehement critics and opposes the legalization of homosexuality in Uganda. This has severely landed him in trouble with those who are in support of it.
Ssempa meanwhile said that he went to the Police and was given two escorts. As well as requesting the Police not to give these thugs another chance. He also asked for prayers from his followers.
Read his statement below;
“Guys I survived two attempted assassinations today. I left my hideout bunker and did some critical road construction work at my home in Jungo Kasanje today. Was twice waylaid by two cars with 6 guys in them. I narrowly survived death today. I suspect that It’s either military-related land grabbers or Perverts. Had to go to the police and get two escorts to get me to the highway. And I really need security. Meanwhile, I bought a bottle of red wine to celebrate my providential escape.”

![[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.
