KYENJOJO-UGANDA/NEWSDAY:

Two men from Rwamwanja refugee settlement in Kamwenge District have earned themselves 12-years-in jail for illegally entering a protected area and killing a bushbuck.   The acting Kyenjojo Chief Magistrate, Joy Nambozo sentenced Sabanitah Habimana and Augustine Sobomaana after finding them guilty on both counts.

She handed them four years for illegal entry into a protected areas and 12-years for killing a bushbuck. She, however, said the sentences are to run concurrently. Trouble for the duo started on 28th June 2021 when they were arrested by Uganda Wildlife Authority-UWA rangers inside Katonga Wildlife Reserve.

Prior to their sentence, the prosecution led by Latif Amis, told the court that the convicts were found in possession of a carcass of a bushbuck, two machetes, spears and eight snares they used to kill the animal.
