December 17thOn a sad note. According to today’s New Vision, 5 people died in a bus ‘accident’ when the night bus from Kampala to Kisoro struck some large rocks on the Mbarara-Kabale road at 3am Wednesday near Ntungamo. The rocks had been placed there by the men who then entered the flipped bus and robbed the dying and injured people.Among the dead was Moses Munezero, clinical officer from the IMC Lira clinic, on his way home to Kisoro for the holidays. Moses had been on leave from the Lira clinic during my recent visit, so I had not met him, but his loss has left a cloud of sadness over the hospital, particularly in the IMC/IMF offices where this is the second death in less than a year (Judy, one of the nurses from the Jinja clinic died of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in April).“In this Christmas period, we expect a lot of robbers targeting vehicles moving at night. Drivers need to move with a security person to ensure the safety of the passengers,” The Ntungamo police boss is quoted as saying.It is unclear what the security person would have been able to accomplish as the bus drove up on the rocks. Merry Christmas.New Vision Article
