The police came after receiving a call from the victims’ neighbours. She was found in a pool of blood at her home in Katanga village, on the outskirts of Moroto. Most of the people around had started to think she is probably dead but the police found her with some life.
Speaking to the media, the victims’ daughter, Jacinta Okoi said her mum was stabbed multiple times.
Christine Okoi has undergone surgery due to the injuries she got. However, she is still at a very critical stage and nothing can be celebrated as of now.
The niece to Christine has been detained according to a reliable source. The police though had not come out to say whether she is the one. They have however promised to publicly name the criminal after thorough investigation. Meanwhile, the suspect is set to stand before court any time soon.
Christine Okoi neighbours are still in shock after this monstrous act. Most of them say Okoi is a very good person who wouldn’t even hurt a fly. Joan Nakiru calls her a wonderful person.
“We used to sit and talk and laugh for hours. I’m still in shock. I pray she recovers quickly.”
Meanwhile, a mental check-up should perhaps be considered before the suspect is charged. A cup of porridge is too little a thing to cause anyone to be stabbed unless there are hidden motives too.

![[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.
