The spotlight family went a head to accuse Hon Balyeku Moses that he worked with the area LC3 Chairperson Hamisi Mafubira Kiganira to accuse Sakwa of the death of their father.

A family meeting was held at Ivunamba parish in Budondo sub-county in Jinja district, attended by orphans, widows and the deceased’s brother.
