Elly Maate, the Kigezi Regional Police Spokesman confirmed that they arrested Slyvia Tugumisirize, the wife of the victim and her lover Bright Niwahereza. Apparently, on October 18th, it is alleged that Tugumisirize conspired with his lover Niwahereza to kill Habasa. It is also alleged that Tugumisirize had promised a Ugx 1million prize to her lover if he went through with it.
Reports show that on the planned day, Niwahereza timed the victim as he went to the toilet on Monday night. He followed Habasa and hit him with a hoe on the head. However, Habasa managed to escape and ran towards the house where he fell unconscious. Habasa’s neighbor and relatives ran to his rescue and rushed him to Kamwezi Health Center IV where he is currently receiving treatment.
Maate said one of the residents, Musinguzi Henry, reported the case. This prompted the police to immediately rush to the crime scene. While there, they arrested the suspects right away and recovered the hoe used in the attempted murder as an exhibit.
Police registered the case of attempted murder at Kamwezi Police Station under reference number SD 11/16/10/2022 to help in investigations.

![[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.
