My brother-in-law, Mr Joseph Watuwa, passed away last Sunday. He was knocked down into a coma while on duty at Wairaka on the Jinja-Iganga Highway. Joseph was a traffic police officer and had served his country with diligence and distinction for almost 30 years.
While his tragic death is deeply painful to us as a family and to the many who knew and encountered him, the bigger tragedy here is the epidemic that is Uganda’s road carnage and a hopelessly broken healthcare system.
