President Museveni has today visited Entebbe MP Tumusime Rosemary’s home as she mourns her daughter.
The tragedy occurred a few meters away from where the MP was. She was heading to State House to witness the swearing-in of new ministers.
In a series of tweets, Mr. Museveni eulogised: “I have visited & condoled with the family of Hon. Rose Tumusiime, the Entebbe Municipality MP, who lost her daughter.
“Doreen Tashobya, 21, & another relative, Patrick Busingye, died yesterday in an accident involving a truck and a motorcycle, in Entebbe.
“We have lost two young people with a promising future. I pray the family finds strength in this trying time. May their souls rest in peace.
Ms. Tumusime’s daughter, Doreen Tashobya and a one Patrick Businge were on Tuesday killed in a motor accident as the two were riding on a bike to Tashobya‘s work place.
The motorcycle they were riding, Reg no. UDS 502N Bajaj boxer collided with a Isuzu Truck Reg UAP 872J that was carrying sand. The accident occurred at Muziga Park on Entebbe road.
