Shilla Amadit got the consolation for Echoes midway through the first half.
Namwembe fired SHE Maroons into an early lead, scoring in the 10th minute. Three minutes later Naluyima double the lead with an easy finish.
By halftime, SHE Maroons FC led 3-0 with Namwembe adding the other. She completed her hat trick a minute into the second stanza.
Naluyima and Kyomugisha added the other two goals to ensure SHE Maroons complete the rout.
In the other game played on Tuesday, Wakiso Hills and Lango Queens played out a goalless draw in a boring contest.
