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.

In an earlier interview Sakwa insisted that Isanga had been diagnosed with high blood pressure, a condition that had compromised his health for a long period of time.

Patrick Tidomu, Isanga’s brother, says the aforementioned politicians wanted to “disorganise the family”.
