In his end of the year speech, the President said he was supposed to meet the late boxer. He said Zebra was a strong NRM supporter but sadly the police killed him before they could meet.
“When I heard of the death of Isaac Ssenyange alias Mando Zebra, a former Bombers Captain, I telephoned his wife. She narrated to me the events. Zebra was meant to meet me, he was an NRM supporter who was doing so much for us…” The President said.
The president further added that after making some inquiries, he found out that indeed, the boxer was killed by members of the Uganda Police Force.
He therefore promised that Zebra’s killers will face the full extent of the law.
“I specifically decided to take on his case and I have so far found out he was killed by security personnel. I am very sorry, so sorry about this, and I will bring my entire findings to the knowledge of the family…” Museveni said.
However, initial Police reports indicated that unidentified men wearing hoodies picked Zebra from his house in St. Francis Zone, Bwaise III Parish. This was at around 1am on 30th December 2020 and shot him just 400 metres away from his house. The president’s tweet therefore seems to go parallel with the police’s report.
I specifically decided to take on his case and I have so far found out he was killed by security personnel. I am very sorry, so sorry about this. I will bring my entire findings to the knowledge of the family. I am very sorry. #M7NewYearAddress.

We’re yet to see how far the police will go in investigating this particular case. Especially considering president’s personal interest in it.

![[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.
