The second Covid-19 wave continues to ravage the country, leading to an oxygen shortage crisis in nearly all hospitals and the daily average death of at least 35 people in the last 3-4 weeks although some deaths remain uncaptured as people continue to treat themselves from home due to shortage of hospital beds and hiked medical bills ranging from Shs 2-5 million per day for Covid-19 patients.
Mugongo and her late brother Fred Katamba Mukiibi pioneered commercial funeral services in the country in 1994 with their UFS, drawing scorn from the general population over what many considered a cultural taboo at the time, offering services ranging from the feeding of mourners, offering criers for hire, hearse and transport services, treating bodies to grave construction, post-death counseling, grave digging and construction, coffin sales among others.

High society artist bringing personal touch to gallery );

THE work of an artist who made his name sculpting a public monument to the Duke of Westminster has gone on show at a Henley gallery.
Jonathan Wylder, who lives in the town and has a studio in Nettlebed, will also be in residence at Henley Fine Art in Market Place two days a week.
The 63-year-old, who is best known for his bronze sculptures but is also a noted painter, says he hopes his involvement could potentially help inspire younger visitors to the gallery.
He says: “I remember when I walked into a stone carver’s studio for the first time and could not believe the smell of the dust, the dust in his hair, piles of bricks and carving away it just blew my mind.
