The Presidential motorcade has knocked and injured three people on a Boda-boda along the Northern Bypass.
Senior Superintendent of Police –SSP Rogers Nsereko Kawuma, the Kampala Metropolitan traffic police commander said the convoy knocked the boda-boda rider and his passengers at around 11am at a Masanafu, which is between Busega and Namungoona.
SSP Kawuma explained that all the passengers and the rider on the Bodaboda were evacuated to hospital but with serious injuries.
Independent reports indicate that one of the victims of the accident has died later after the incident by the empty Presidential convoy.
Special Forces Command Spokesperson, Maj. Jimmy Omara, said a statement was being prepared over the same.
The President is guaranteed right of way and road users are at all times advised to give way to his convoy.
However, sometimes boda boda riders and drivers tend to miscalculate the distance remaining for the convoy to pass and they end up getting knocked.
Not only people have antagonized the President’s motorcade but animals too. In 2020, Museveni compensated with 800,000 shillings a man after his goat was knocked at Bweyogerere. END
