Deputy Secretary General Harold Kaija has said there is need to know the mystery behind these sudden deaths. He says all religious leaders that have died in the recent past have left messages showing that they were living in fear.
“Just when we had started to believe that the Archbishop Lwanga had died of cancer, his relatives are now coming out saying he sent them a message, saying that his life was in danger. The Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga also said it on the pulpit that they want to kill him. Sheikh Nuhu Muzaata used to say the same too, who is this ‘they’’ Kaija said.
Kaija says it’s very important to provide people with answers because people are living in fear.
He says if anyone committed suicide, no one would even believe it because people think ‘mafias’ are after the country men.
“We need to investigate on this ‘they’, who is killing our people? If we all fold our hands, we will all die. I know people who can not even sleep in their houses. Others change bed rooms every night, people are scared and a country cannot grow like this, we need answers.”
This has followed the sudden death of Archbishop Jonah Lwanga. Reports show that he succumbed to cancer but a family member has said the Archbishop was receiving threats.
Meanwhile, he was so much appreciated for his outspoken character.
“Lwanga was the real definition of a religious leader, he was not a fortune seeker, he kept a low profile, old car and did not even own a bank account. We have lost someone who is irreplaceable.”

![[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.
