Kazinga Channel [Western Uganda]-home to over 4,000 hippos! Also called the “Hippo Paradise

Kesande says several people have been killed and others injured by the hippos but government has not come to their rescue, also making students to abandon school or fail to concentrate in class.

She told parliament that the animals from Queen Elizabeth national park recently killed a person and injured several others as well as destroying their crops, causing a lot of fear in the district.

Kesande also appealed to government to compensate families of those killed or injured by the hippos in addition to coming up with a policy to assist those in candidate classes by giving them extra marks since they cannot adequately prepare for final examinations due to fear of being attacked by the wild animals.

Security personnel comprised of Police, army and plain closed officers blocked all roads leading to Ndekye secondary school play ground where the demonstration was scheduled to take place.

Magezi Moses the Rubirizi district FDC party chairperson who condemned police’s acts says that it’s a constitutional right for any Ugandan to demonstrate and a duty of police to offer security but not to put at risk the lives of Ugandans.

Moses says that arrangements for fresh demonstrations on Saturday are underway as per the directive from the party president Col Kiiza Besigye to continue with the demonstrations.
