IN BUSHENYI—

A second person in less than three days was kidnapped last evening in the middle of Bushenyi town, bundled in car and driven to Mbarara  while being seriously beaten by the attackers.

Silvertoli Ngabirano, a court clerk at Bushenyi chief magistrate’s court was kidnapped at Delta petrol station opposite Bushenyi- Ishaka municipal offices at 7:30pm driven to Mbarara beaten thoroughly and dumped at nine miles on Mbarara– Bushenyi road.

Last Evening’s kidnap follows another gruesome incident where John Headex Rwamutwe was kidnapped in the same town on Tuesday night, beaten to death and his body was discovered on Thursday in his car in Ibanda municipality. His burial is ongoing now.

On last night’s kidnap, the close friend of the victim Mr. Tom Katondwaki, after dropping his friend at nine Miles on Mbarara-Bushenyi high way, the boda boda cyclists discovered him and found him severely beaten.

They [boda cyclists] found him somehow able to speak, he gave them a telephone contact of Mr. Tom Katondwaki which he knew off head and cyclists called Tom and he told Bushenyi police which called Mbarara police and then picked the victim and took him to Mbarara regional referral hospital where he is still admitted.

Mr. Katondwaki told www.mknewslink.com editor that the victim is responding to treatment and Doctors told him that he is out of danger.

When mknewslink.com news website contacted Bushenyi DPC Mr Damiano Katwesiime and PRO for greater Bushenyi police Mr. Martial Tumusiime, they said that they were attending a mass at the burial ceremony of Late Rwamutwe and would give details after the burial.

Bushenyi district residents are currently leaving in fear because of these terrible incidents that have claimed the life of Rwamutwe and left Ngabirano in critical condition.

in Ntungamo—-
Angry councilors of Ntungamo district anonymously passed a Motion to
investigate the Ushs 38 [Thirty eight million] allegedly paid to Ntungamo
district population officer Amwesiga Didas Mukuru to train unknown
school management committees across the district.
The accusations stem from findings of a finance committee report
during the council meeting held this week at Ntungamo
District council hall discovered that 38M shillings was release from the
District account  to train school management committees in three
counties of Rushenyi, Kajara and Ruhaama.
This prompted councilors led by Muhumuza Deis Savimbi representing
Itojo sub county to task CAO Betunguura John to explain why the money
was released before approved by council, only to say that he does not
know the money and the ongoing training.
When chairman LCV Singahache Denis and RDC Justin Mababazi asked about
the trainings all boldly they noted that the trainings are illegal and
not known in the District.

Councilor Muhumuza, moved the motion to investigate the population on
grounds that he connived with some the district officers to swindle
the money that could be used to fund other stalled projects in the
district.

The motion was supported by Mpeirirwe Naboth, the councilor for
Ntungamo Sub County and then the whole council.

while the MP Kajara county Timuzigu Micheal Kamugisha noted that
they must stand firm to curb the graft that is eating up the District
due to selfish interests of individuals.
