The incident has sparked discussions about the rule of law and the importance of addressing criminal activities through proper channels.
According to reports, the suspected motorcycle thief was apprehended by a group of individuals who took the law into their own hands.
The mob, driven by anger and frustration over rising incidents of theft, resorted to violence, resulting in the tragic death of the suspect.
While theft and other criminal activities are undoubtedly concerning, it is essential to remember that everyone is entitled to due process and a fair trial.
Meanwhile vigilante justice undermines the principles of justice and the rule of law, leading to a cycle of violence and potential miscarriage of justice.
The incident in Kibuku serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of a functioning legal system that upholds the rights of both victims and suspects. It highlights the need for law enforcement agencies to be proactive in tackling crime while also ensuring the protection of human rights.
It is crucial for communities to work together with law enforcement authorities to combat crime effectively. This can be achieved through increased police presence, community policing programs, and fostering trust between citizens and law enforcement agencies.
By promoting dialogue and cooperation, communities can contribute to creating a safer environment for all.
In the aftermath of this tragic incident, it is essential for authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and hold those responsible for the mob killing accountable.
This will send a strong message that vigilantism is not an acceptable means of addressing criminal activities and that the rule of law must prevail.

![[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.
