A Life Shattered: The DNA Truth That Cost Musisi His Family, His Leg
Parents of Kabuga Demonstration Nursery and Primary School in Kagadi District are demanding justice after a shocking revelation that their children were made to sit fake Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) in 2025.
The school, located in Kabuga Trading Centre in Muhorro sub-county, had 12 Primary Seven candidates that year. However, allegations have emerged that the headteacher, Mukwasira Titas—commonly known as Tito—administered examinations that were not set by the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB).
According to parents, the headteacher assured them that their children had been officially registered under a school in neighboring Kyenjojo District. But suspicions grew when pupils reported sitting their exams at an unfamiliar school, raising serious concerns about the legitimacy of the process.
Efforts by parents to seek clarification were unsuccessful. One parent, Katushabe Gloria, said the headteacher failed to explain why the candidates were taken to another district. When the official 2025 PLE results were released, none of the pupils’ results could be traced—confirming fears that the exams were fraudulent.
Parents also claim that attempts to obtain recommendation letters from the school yielded fake documents. Many expressed anger, accusing the school administration of extorting money under the pretense of providing education.
Pupils have also shared disturbing accounts. One student, Kebirungi Blessing, described unusual and unsettling conditions during the exams, while another, Aizire Katusiime, alleged they were mistreated while in Kyenjojo.
The financial toll on families has been significant. Some parents took out loans to fund their children’s education, while others had already paid secondary school fees in anticipation of successful results. Now, many are left stranded, with at least one parent reporting that her child has refused to repeat Primary Seven.
Local education authorities have acknowledged the issue. The Kagadi District Inspector of Schools for Buyaga West, Alinda Julius Mpigiza, confirmed that the school has been operating illegally and in poor condition. However, questions remain after reports surfaced of a letter allegedly authorizing the school’s operation—something the inspector declined to address.
As pressure mounts, the headteacher is reported to have fled to an unknown location. The incident has sparked widespread concern about regulatory failures and possible corruption within the education system, as affected families call on the government to intervene and ensure accountability.
