Police in Lyantonde are investigating the murder of a prominent businesswoman at Kaliro Ward B in Lyantonde Town Council. The district CID Officer Mr. Robert Asendu on Monday identified the deceased as Hope Tukamushaba.
They found her body lying in a pool of blood at her home on Sunday.
“We have embarked on the investigation process. Nobody has been arrested but the police investigation team is on ground,” he said briefly.
The deceased operated a bar and a shop at Kaliro ward B in Lyantonde town. Apparently, her sister discovered Hope’s body when she went to check on her after Hope failed to respond to phone calls.
According to the LC1 Kaliro B, Mr. Muhamad Ssekimpi, the incident is likely to have happened in the night.
“We found blood drops at the washrooms, a possibility that the suspected killers could have washed their hands after accomplishing their mission,” he said
However, a section of the civilians claimed that the police is thinly spread. This is as a result of the small numbers at the Central Police.
They further claimed that the crime rate in the area is on the rise for the same reason.
Police later took Tukamushaba’s body to Lyantonde Hospital mortuary for postmortem as investigations continued.

![[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.
