Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe, the deputy Inspector General of Government (IGG) survived an accident on Tuesday afternoon as a motor vehicle Nisan UAK 372E rammed into her convoy, smashing the rear right-hand light of the Land cruiser where she was the occupant.
Ronald Mulindwa and Arnold Musisi, the two occupants of a Nisan UAK 372E were consequently arrested by the IGG security detail and taken to Kajjansi police station. The duo were found drunk and in possession of half-full bottle of Uganda Waragi- Coconut flavour.
Police also found out that Mulindwa, the driver, was not licensed to drive any vehicle on the Ugandan roads, as he possessed no driving license.
Upon further search, their vehicle which was carrying bags of cement and metalic door-frames, was also found carrying sacks of Marijuana among other unidentified suspected narcotics.
To this, ASP Aisat Nandutu, the Officer in Charge (OC) of traffic at Kajjansi Police station said, the substances are to be subjected to the government analytical laboratory to ascertain whether they are narcotics before other charges are preferred against the two.
Meanwhile, the duo is being detained at Kajjansi police station on traffic-related charges as more assessments are being done.
The deputy IGG Muhairwe briefly explained how the occupants of the other vehicle “recklessly” knocked hers. “I just did a noble duty and reported them to the police. Even if they had not knocked my vehicle, they were definitely going to knock another person,” she noted.
According to Simon Kamoga, an eye-witnesses, whereas the deputy IGG had a seemingly strong security detail, the security officers did not attempt to beat the two drunken fellas. “In a high civil manner, the two men were taken to police, unseen of, in several of such incidences that involve an official with security guards,” narrated Kamoga.
Nandutu cautioned the general public against drunken-driving, reckless driving and not giving way for convoys.
