Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Kilak South Member of Parliament, Mr Gilbert Olanya, was on Tuesday evening involved in a serious road accident along Gulu-Kampala highway.<\/p>\n

The accident happened at Migyera trading centre at about 9pm, as the MP returned to Kampala from Gulu District.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Daily Monitor, Mr Olanya said his driver rammed into a stationary Track about one kilometre to Migyera trading center.<\/p>\n

The MP said his driver was rushed to a nearby health centre by the Police, in a critical condition.<\/p>\n

Asked about his condition, Mr Olanya said he was not badly hurt but complained of pain in the chest.<\/p>\n

The Kilak South legislator is the latest victim of the spate of accidents where MPs have been involved in a space of just two months.<\/p>\n

Others who have been involved in similar accidents include Mityana Municipality MP Francis Zaake, Diana Mutasingwa (Buikwe Woman MP), John Baptist Nambeshe (Manjiya County) and Francis Mwijukye (Buhweju County).<\/p>\n

Fortunately, all these members have survived with minor injuries, though some other lives have been lost.<\/p>\n

Mr Mwijukye on Sunday evening survived lynching by angry residents after his car allegedly knocked two children dead and also injured a motorcyclist at Mbizzinya\u2013Kyengera Village near Buwama Town along Kampala-Masaka highway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
