Mitooma – 2, September 2020: Residents of Rwakikambuzi village, Nyakahita parish, Mutara sub-county, Ruhinda County South in Mitooma district woke up to the shock of their lives after they found a coffin at a home of one of the political aspirants Arther Kazoora.
According to Greater Bushenyi police spokesperson, Marshal Tumusiime, the unknown people allegedly driving a motor vehicle not yet known, went to the home of Kazoora and dropped a coffin containing some money.
He added that the wooden, empty coffin contained a 2,000 shilling notes worth 74,000 strewed all over the scene.
Mr Tumusiime said they were yet to arrest anybody in connection with the incident, but added that police are investigating the case.
“We have not done any arrest on this case but police are doing investigations and the wooden coffin is currently at Mitooma police station as an exhibit,” said Tumusiime.
The police spokesperson also said when police asked Kazoora’s campaign team manager, Moses Bonde, the latter said it was Hon. Donozio Kahonda’s camp they suspect to have committed the crime.
He further alleges that Hon. Kahoonda was seen dishing out some money in the night of 30/08/2020 at around 11:00 pm to the electorates in Kabira and Mutara town councils.
When contacted, Moses Bonds said that for a long time they have been accusing former Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Gen Kahinda Otafire for disorganising the politics of Mitooma district, saying that “now we have come to know who is behind all the disorganisations in the district”.
He further said after Ruhinda was divided into two; that’s Ruhinda South and North respectively, Gen Kahinda is doing his peaceful politics in Ruhinda North while the people of Ruhinda South are suffering in the hands of one man, Donozio Kahoonda.
“We have for a very long pinning Minister Kahinda Otafiire for disorganising the politics of Mitooma, but as of now we know who the real enemy of the people is in Ruhinda and Mitooma in general,” said Bonde.
However, when contacted, the former Mitooma district chairman Benon Karyaija said that Mitooma is free for anyone to do what he or she wants, and that Kahinda should not be excluded from the matter.
“Kahinda is not caged like a lion,” he said, adding: “He can do anything as long as he has political and social motives in any given area of Mitooma.”
Arther Kazoora, a former teacher and the owner of MK Mutara Associates in Kampala, is tussling it out in the approaching NRM primaries for Ruhinda South MP seat. The race has attracted four other candidates who include Dononzio Kahonda, the current MP, Richard Bwarire, a lawyer in Kampala, Didas Kaginda and Ambrose Byamugisha who’s the director of Fobis, a company that exports labour outside Uganda.
