The ‘Ogumanga‘ singer had flown out of the country to Turkey a few weeks ago to seek advanced medical attention.
This followed her kidney problem which she suffered a few years back. The singer became so ill and almost went on the verge of death.
The singer was however rescued by events promoter Balaam Barugahare who took her to Nakaseero Hospital for medical care.
She was able to get a bit better from there. Doctors however, advised her to seek advanced medical attention from India where she would need to undergo a kidney transplant.
Lagu who did not have the necessary funds resorted to fundraising, car washes and well wishes finally raising the necessary sum.
She later flew to Turkey with her kidney donor and was put on dialysis for a few days as doctors analyzed her health status.
However doctors advised her that her health was too frail to support the operation. The moment she undergoes it, she will die.
“I have always communicated to you how doctors have been doing several tests on me to see if I can undergo the operation successfully. Sadly I was told am too weak and the moment they operate me, I might not make it out alive. I have been told to remain on dialysis for the rest of my life.” Lagu said.
She however pleaded to Ugandans and all well-wisher to help her with her huge medical bills.
The singer appeared in a live video and said that they told her to undergo more medical tests before returning.
These however will cost around $20,000 yet she has only $10,000. She therefore appealed to anyone willing to help to assist her.
“Please Ugandans pray for me and all well wishers. I need more money in excess of $10,000 because I only have $10,000 yet I need $20,000 for the medical tests.” Lagu pleaded.
Lagu was initially supposed to go to India for the kidney transplant.
However due to the travel ban on flights from Entebbe to India due to the status of India as a category one country in Covid 19 cases, she opted for Turkey.

![[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.
