The Family of Mwaghasyendwa of Kabughabugha village in Rukoki Sub-County Kasese district want the remains of nine people who were buried between 1980 and 2022 exhumed after their graves being washed away by floods last week.
Mr. Robert Bwambale Mwaghasyendwa asked Government to allow them and witness the digging up of human skulls and other bones, including clothes where the bodies were wrapped.
The remains were of Maliam 80, Mwaghasyendwa Masereka 90 and Sofia Ndungu 70 among others.
He said they will first seek permission from court and the Police to exhume these bodies which are currently displayed alongside the drainage channel. Mr. Robert on Exhumation….
In Uganda, it is illegal to exhume bodies because the law prescribes it as disturbing the peace of the dead and is punishable with imprisonment of up to one year.
