This is after she was one of the many who trekked on foot to Namugongo. Agatha came from Fort Portal to Namugongo on foot.
Her resilience and determination really inspired a lot of people. Even while at Namugongo, she was guided to sit in the VIP section. After the celebrations, well-wishers contributed some money for her to board a bus back to her home.
This was not to be entertained by the shameless thugs in Kampala who way laid her in town.
She got robbed clean around the Old Taxi Park and got stranded at Mutaasa Kafeero plaza.
“Remember the 72-year-old pilgrim who walked from Fort Portal to Namugongo. Well wishers had contributed some money for her transport back today. She’s just been robbed in downtown Kampala near the Old Taxi park. She is now stranded at Mutaasa Kafeero,” NBS journalist Daniel Lutaaya revealed.
This caused alarm and concern among the journalist’s Twitter followers. This prompted him to follow up the matter and later learnt that she was in good hands.
She got taken in by a gentleman in Buloba who assured that she was in good hands although shocked. Daniel added her number since some people had showed interest in helping her.
“I have traced Jajja Agatha. A Good gentleman from Buloba has taken her in for the night. I have spoken to him and he says she is fine with him and his family. I have also spoken to Jajja Agatha herself and she is fine although in shock.
I’ve asked for her number since many of you wanted to know how you could help her. It’s 0787 732751 in her own names Agatha Nyinabutagwira,” he further revealed.
Its a sad and sickening world that we are truly living in if people have the audacity to rob such a person. Meanwhile the Police also reported several cases of theft at Namugongo Martyrs shrine.
This implies that not all people who go there are after prayers, some are indeed induced by evil.

![[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.
