Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The chairperson of Buyende District National Resistance Movement (NRM) Sub-county leaders, Mr George Musenero, 60, Tuesday perished in a road accident, becoming the sixth Sub-county head of the ruling party to die this year in Busoga sub region. .<\/p>\n

Mr Musenero, who was riding his yellow NRM motorcycle registration number UFE 993B is said to have rammed into an oncoming sugarcane tractor UAM 083N\/UAL836 X as he tried to overtake a taxi at Butabala Trading Centre along the Kamuli-Jinja Highway.<\/p>\n

The deceased was returning from the burial of the Buwenge Town Council NRM chairperson, Mr Bernard Kiriwaigulu, who died on Monday after colliding with a boda boda at Itukulu.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unfortunate that this year we have lost five NRM Sub-county chairpersons mostly to accidents and lost Bernard and George in two consecutive days,\u201d Mr Michael Kiwuka, the chairperson Busoga NRM Sub-county chairpersons, said.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Kiwuka, Mr Musenero\u2019s death adds to the earlier demise of Mr James Muwanga, the Bukaboli NRM Sub-county chairperson in Mayuge District, Mr Kalulu Waiswa, the Nabukalu Sub-county NRM chairperson in Bugiri District, Mr Estaluko Bagaga, the NRM chairperson of Buyende Rural Sub-county and Mr Isa Zirabamuzale, the NRM chairperson of Mpungwe Sub-county in Mayuge District.<\/p>\n

He explained that the late Musenero \u2018\u2018was a member of the Busoga NRM chairperson executive and a loyal cadre who sacrificed his resources to register NRM candidates in the region as a mobiliser.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

For Buyende District LC5 chairperson, Mr Michael Kanaku, Musenero\u2019s death is \u2018a blow to the party.\u2019<\/p>\n

The deceased\u2019s last mobilisation assignment was when he was hosted on a local radio station to sensitise the locals on the Emyooga Funds, a government poverty alleviation programme.<\/p>\n

The Buyende resident district commissioner, Mr Richard Ogwang Odyero, pledged to take care of the burial arrangements for the fallen party cadre.<\/p>\n

The Kamuli District Traffic Officer, ASP Obadiah Ssewanyana clarified that the deceased died on the spot after he rammed into a tractor at Butabala, a few kilometers from Kamuli Sugar Factory, and the hunt for the tractor driver who fled the scene is on.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuckily, the owner of the tractor met with the relatives of the deceased and after an autopsy, the body was cleared for burial. The tractor is with us pending an inspection by the Inspector of Vehicles (IOV),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The deceased will be buried on Thursday at Nakabira Village in Buyende Town Council.<\/p>\n

Mr Raphael Zikusooka, the owner of the tractor, regretted that his tractor was involved in a fatal accident yet he had also been attending a burial of one of his stepmothers who died of shock after her son was brought for burial as a Covid-19 victim.<\/p>\n

He added that the driver had got a sugarcane-ferrying job and had slept near the factory, but as it was raining, the visibility could have failed him and he was informed that he fled for his safety.<\/p>\n
