KABALE- An old widow in Kabale District who offered her home to be used as an armoury (store for guns) to the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) during the 1990-94 liberation war has appealed to the Rwandan government to help her go for a heart operation in India as advised by doctors.
Ms Modesta Nyabuhara, 75, a resident of Katukura-Nyamirima Cell in Kahondo parish, Maziba Sub-county in Kabale District was in March 2014 diagnosed with hypertensive heart disease at SASA Cardiology Clinic in Kampala.
She was advised to go to India or South Africa for an operation. She says she failed to raise Shs50m required for the operation.
“My health is deteriorating because of this heart disease. Taking drugs worth Shs60,000 per week has become too expensive for me since I have to pay school fees for grandchildren because their parents died. I appeal to President Kagame and the Rwandan government for support to save my life, I also helped them in their struggles by offering to them my home which they used as an armoury after relocating my family members to Kaharo,” said Ms Nyabuhara.
Ms Nyabuhara lost her husband, Pakarasio Gabosya in 1985.
She says she recalls that Rwanda’s President Kagame and Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa used to visit her home to check on their soldiers and the ammunitions.
She also recalls her children’s bedrooms were used as clinics for treatment of wounded soldiers. Ms Nyabuhara says her brother in-law, Mr Siriri Gabosya, who was the area parish chairman then, persuaded her to allow the RPF rebels use her home, less than 4km from the Uganda-Rwanda border.
Mr Glasus Ndyabawe, the elder son of Ms Modesta Nyabuhara, said they have exhausted family resources to purchase drugs weekly
The Kabale Resident District Commissioner, Mr Darius Nandinda, promised to forward Ms Nyabuhara’s requests if she officially contacts his office.
