The police spokesman for Kigezi sub region, Mr Elly Maate identified the driver as Matayo Barekye, 50, a resident of Nyakabare cell, Kebisoni town council in Rukungiri District.<\/p>\n

Barekye was on January 27, 2022 photographed while allegedly offloading pineapples from an ambulance registration number UG 3797M, at Nyamunuka trading center in Ntungamo District.<\/p>\n

On his way back, he was photographed offloading pineapples from the ambulance he was driving. The police arrested the suspect after the photographs of offloading pineapples went viral on social media and charges of abuse of office have since been slapped against him,\u201d Mr Maate said.<\/p>\n

Mr Maate advised public servants to always observe their code of conduct to avoid such temptations that lead them into abusing their offices.<\/p>\n
