Nahe Tukamuhabwa aka Kaboyi, a resident of Nyarwanya Cell in Burora Parish, was home on Saturday night when unknown assailants attacked his home.
Apparently, Nahe had separated from his wife, Resitetuta Asiimwe, 11 days prior to his murder. Asiimwe is now being interrogated on suspicion that she could have connived with the killers to end the father of her children’s life.
According to the police, the assailants broke into the bedroom of the deceased and as he begged for mercy, they hacked him to death.
The Kigezi Region Police spokesman, Elly Maate confirmed the arrest of Asiimwe. He said she offered her help to the police in their investigations on a file of murder by assault, CRB 512/2022.
The information from the wife revealed that Tukamuhabwa had a longtime misunderstanding with the wife that forced her to leave on June 1. And when she did, she left two children behind, a son and a daughter.
Maate further explained that on Saturday at 9:00 pm the deceased went to Omukihogo Trading Centre with his son. Apparently, they appeared to be taking local brew. The son allegedly got tired and returned home, leaving his father behind. The father at an unknown time, also returned home without the son’s knowledge.
As midnight, the son woke up after hearing a loud bang in the father’s bedroom. He started screaming for help.
The assailants however warned him against this saying they would kill him too if he continued shouting.
The son then used the front door to escape from the assailants and he ran to the neighbors. By the time the neighbors responded to the alarm, the assailants had already fled the scene.
The area LC1 chairman reported the incident to Kiyenje Police Post. Later a report was made to Central Police Station in Rukungiri, and a team was dispatched to the scene.

![[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.
