Faridah Kiconco , a resident of Rwengando parish Kiziba, Kagango division in Sheema Municipality has sued Sheema Municipal council and Sheema local government for the wrong HIV/AIDS results given to her by their medical personnel at Kabwohe health centre IV. This comes after Kiconco recently made tests only to find she was HIV negative.

Before the tests, Kiconco had been taking her ARVs for six years since the Kabwohe doctors had confirmed she was positive. Earlier this week, High Court Justice Flavian Zeija in Mbarara referred KIconco’s the case to the magistrates’ court for mediation since both parties had agreed to settle the matter outside court.

According to Aruho Amon Kategaya, one of Faridah’s lawyers, says is pleased that Sheema municipal council has already ‘swallowed’ the blame though they are offering little for his client.
“For the first time we are happy that Municipal council officials have realised that they have a case to answer and I think that’s why they have accepted to go for mediation, but the money (Shs20m) they are offering is too little to help our client be taken to India for comprehensive treatment since she is suffering form hepatoxicity, renal toxicity and heamorrhoids.

“However, let’s wait for the day the mediator has told us if they don’t raise the money we want which should not be below sh100m, we shall proceed with the matter in the high court,” Kategaya added.
