A one ASP Owor Lameck knocked Reagan Senoga’s vehicle. However, he went ahead and shot the victim dead for unknown reasons.
“The deceased was standing beside his car, a Toyota Vista, registration number UAK 398D when the suspect who was driving a Premio registration no UBE 179F knocked the front part of deceased’s car. On asking the suspect why he knocked, the suspect told the deceased that he can even shoot him,” Brian Ssebyala an eyewitness said.
At this moment, the police officer attached to the ICT department at Kawempe Police Station drew a pistol and shot his victim. He reportedly did this while still in his car.
The eyewitness then made an alarm that alerted other people who made their way to the crime scene. They helped rush the victim to Ggwatiro hospital where the doctors pronounced him dead upon arrival.
According to reports, Owor who also owns a bar in that area has a track record of being violent. The deceased left behind a family of three children, including a seven months baby.
Kampala Metropolitan deputy police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire confirmed the incident.
“ASP Lameck Owor has been arrested and in our custody, whereas the body was taken to the KCCA mortuary for postmortem. Investigations are still ongoing,” Owoyesigyire said.
This incident has thrown more light on the immunity exploited by members of security agencies including police, the UPDF and other officials.
This same vice, however, has been shown by businessmen and members of wealthy families. And then those with connections to security organs.
A case in point, in 2016, Mathew Kanyamunyu, a businessman, shot and killed Child Rights activist Kenneth Akena who allegedly knocked and scratched his vehicle. Kanyamunyu has since been sentenced to six years imprisonment.

![[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.
