Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

Police and other stakeholders have expressed concern over the rising number of road accidents in recent months that have claimed several lives and left others injured.

Since the start of the year, police have reported an average of between 60 and 80 people dying in road accidents every week across the country. During the week of September 8 to 14, 61 people lost their lives, and 308 others sustained injuries in road crashes across Uganda, according to police.

The latest accident involved two senior UPDF officers, Brig Fred Twinamasiko, who served as the director of training and doctrine, and Brig (retired) Katende Kyambadde.

The two died in a car crash at the weekend as they returned from the burial of Sarah Mateke, the State minister for Defence, in Kisoro District. Police and the army have not provided details about the cause of the accident.

On September 1, eight people died, and more than 20 others were injured when a Jaguar bus crashed into an Isuzu truck at Kabaale-Bugonzi on Masaka-Kampala highway. Six days earlier, 10 people died when a bus belonging to Pokopoko Company collided with a commuter taxi at Kaihura Trading Centre on Fort Portal –Kyenjojo Road.
