Controversy

On the evening of Saturday 12 November 2016, one Kenneth Watmond Akena, employed as a community development officer in Aruu North County, Pader District, in Northern Uganda, while driving an automobile, collided with another vehicle in which Cynthia Munwangari was a passenger. The driver of the other vehicle was one Mathew Kanyamunyu, a Ugandan businessman and the boyfriend of Munwangari. The incident occurred in the Lugogo neighborhood of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.[3]

Later that evening Kanyamunyu and Munnwangari showed up at Norvik Hospital in the central business district of the city with Akena, who was bleeding from gunshot wounds to the abdomen.[3] The Ugandan authorities were not satisfied with the explanations given by the couple regarding how Akena sustained his injuries, so they detained both. When Akena died the next day; both were charged with his murder.[4][5]

In March 2017 Cynthia Munwangari and a brother of her boyfriend were granted bail but the boyfriend remained behind bars.[6] As of August 2017, the trial continues, with Cynthia Munwangari out on bail and her boyfriend Matthew Kayamunyu incarcerated.[7]
