MP Bakunda Blames Political Rivals for the ongoing fracas
Isingiro South legislator, Alex Bakunda has dismissed circulating social media reports that link him to a recent altercation between an ambulance driver and a security guard at the Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital. The reports alleged that Bakunda ordered a break-in at the hospital mortuary to retrieve a body, a claim he vehemently denies.
Bakunda clarified that the ambulance driver, Amos Tukasingura, who operates the vehicle he donated to the constituency was involved in a confrontation with a security guard, John Okello. The incident occurred when Tukasingura attempted to take the body of his sister who had passed away in the hospital. This resulted into a scuffle at the hospital’s security gate.
Following the altercation, Okello reported the incident to the police leading to Tukasingura’s arrest. Bakunda emphasized that his role was to facilitate a discussion between Okello and Tukasingura with the help of police in order to resolve the matter amicably, which, according to him, was successfully achieved.
He further stated that the false reports linking him to the incident are the work of political opponents who are pursuing their own agenda, undermining the interests of the people of Isingiro district.
