It was reported in the media that the Ministry of Health is planning to purchase 350 ambulances for use in the country .
This is one of the decisions that all Ugandans should support as we always see many people struggling to take the sick to different government hospitals in spite of the challenges in the same hospitals.
Government spends colossal sums of money on the purchase and maintenance of vehicles. It is only in Uganda that you will find a driver of a government vehicle wielding a lot of power and rights on the road.
The drivers are intolerant of other motorists. They overtake on road shoulders , jump traffic queues , overtake at blind spots and all sorts of traffic irregularities are associated with this class of motorists.
