Police in Kampala Metropolitan South and Katwe Division have arrested a woman over allegations of murder. Apparently, the woman allegedly cut off the genitals of her husband which led to him bleeding to death.
Ms. Biira Joy, from Nabisalu Wasswa Zone, Makindye division had been in a fight with her husband, Mr Baluku Benson. The fight happened upon his return home on March 26, 2023 while drunk.
The police spokesperson, Fred Enanga said that Baluku had always accused his wife of having extramarital affairs. However, this time their usually petty fights turned really violent after he tried to strangle his wife.
“During the domestic fight, the husband grabbed his wife by the neck and started strangling her, which prompted her to draw out a knife and chop off her husband’s genitals,” he said in a statement.
Enanga added saying this incident is another reminder that domestic violence is real and it is life-threatening. The police condemned the rage and anger among the spouses since it can lead to losing respect for each other.
“We would like to remind all spouses living in conflict, to always seek help on how to resolve their family differences,” Enanga said.

![[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.
