Rubanda District: A 40-year-old teacher at Ihunga Primary School in Rubanda District identified as James Agaba was on Thursday found dead, police have said.
“It’s alleged that the deceased has been having domestic misunderstandings with his wife Janet Twinomujuni for many years. On May 18, 2023, the deceased left his wife at home and went to Nshanjare Trading Center. The wife allegedly followed him to get food for her pigs but left the trading centre at around 8pm. Some local residents told police that the deceased was at the bar and left at around 10pm heading home,” Maate told journalists on Friday.
Maate said that the wife of the deceased told police that she waited for the husband to return home but all in vain.
She suspected that he had slept somewhere else. She further claimed that Agaba did not sleep at their home most of the time.
“On Friday morning the wife of the deceased went to Nshanjare Trading Centre to look for the husband. However, she was told that Agaba was seen in the garden dead with multiple injuries,” Maate noted.
“The police were notified and they visited the scene of crime where a postmortem was immediately done and the body handed over to the relatives,” Maate added.
By press time, a case of murder had been recorded at Rubanda District Police Station. However, investigations into the alleged killing are still on.

![[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.
