It is alleged that the cause of his suicide is associated to delay of salaries by the school administration ahead of the festive season.
The deceased has been a resident of Mugarama 2 cell Katembe parish -Rukiri subcounty- lbanda district.
The body of the deceased was delivered to Ruhoko Health IV for postmortem as investigations into the matter continue.
Too bad for the teacher to kill himself.This is really touching.lf you don't want to pay your worker please send him or her away.Teachers have families to look after!!
RIP. our poverty as teachers shouldn't lead us loose our lives Jesus is our best mentor .
So bad.It's a pity.
I guess that's what the school administrators wanted cos someone can't be tossed for the money he/she has worked for. Let's be guided with these salary tossing schools like Oxford secondary school ibanda. It must have been a habit in that school to delay paying salaries for someone to reach that extent of committing suicide
very bad indeed ,but let us learn that suffering is not the end of life as long as life exist ,the story can change anytime ,God has raised many people from such situations of total lack to abundancy
It can not be that such suicide is attributed to the delay of salary.i strongly believe that he became sick and lost his conscience.we have time and again worked for some time without payment and without commiting suicide and this should not divert police from carrying out proper investigations
Rip bro
