The security officers dispersed mourners for acting indiscipline at burial while spreading Coronavirus. Luke Owoyesigyire, the Deputy Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesman revealed that Police in Matugga were tipped off by concerned citizens in the afternoon that there was a burial that had attracted over 600 mourners.

“The burial management was not following the Ministry of Health guidelines on public gatherings, social distancing, wearing of face masks and hand washing. We all know that burials were prohibited and simply restricted to scientific burial of not more than 10 people. “We also managed to arrest the Local Council Chairman Kiryamuli Cell Fred Banadawa and the Defence secretary Badru Lusiiba who were allegedly the masterminds of this gathering. We want to thank the Public especially the concerned citizens who took it upon themselves and managed to inform us of this illegal gathering” Owoyesigyire said.

Owoyesigyire further urged that it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that guidelines are followed as implemented by the Health Ministry.
