This was also reiterated by the Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Luke Owoyesigire.
Owoyesigire said that it was true Tony was arrested and sent behind bars. He however produced the phones back to the owner. And in doing so, he got bailed out by some of his people. Besides the owner of the phones also showed no further interest in pursuing the case.
Tony, however, revealed some of the people he steals with and Owoyesigire said that they will investigate this case further and once all is done, this gang will be persecuted.
“It’s true we arrested an individual identified as Tony Kafeero after he stole 2 phones. He confessed to the crimes but later produced the phones back to the owner who showed no further interest in pursuing the case. Tony also got bailed out by his family but he told us some of his gang and we shall investigate then take them to courts of law,” said Owoyesigire.
Despite Paul Kafeero being arguably the best Kadongo Kamu artist ever, his family has languished in misery ever since his death in 2007. The Buladina Ndibakooya singer had sired many children with different women.
However, he was not the wealthiest of people, a thing that has brought several disagreements amongst his kin. These divided his properties amongst themselves and it wasn’t even enough.
Violence broke out and his remains had to be extracted to carry out DNA tests on some of the children.

![[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.
