. @M_Kananura "Three (03) people died and four (04) others sustained injuries following a fatal road crash involving motor vehicle registration number UA 20121AA (Toyota Hiace) & a crossing elephant. The crash occurred on the night of 24th May 2026 at approximately 8:00 p.m. along the Arua road within Murchison Falls National Park in Nwoya District. According to preliminary investigations the driver of the Toyota Hiace which was carrying seven (07) officials from the URA travelling from Arua city back to Kampala after official duty knocked a crossing elephant and subsequently lost control of the vehicle. Three occupants died on the spot while four others including the driver sustained injuries. Police responded promptly and rushed the injured victims to Kiryandongo Hospital for medical attention before they were later transferred to Kampala for further management. The bodies of the deceased were conveyed to Anaka Hospital Mortuary pending postmortem examinations. Motorists are strongly urged to exercise extreme caution while driving through national parks and wildlife-protected areas especially during night hours and to strictly observe speed limits to avoid such incidents.

Legislators have started converging at the Kololo Ceremonial Grounds for the first sitting of the 12th Parliament. During this sitting, the legislators will elect the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker of the 12th Parliament replacing Anita Annet Among and Thomas Tayebwa respectively. The election of the Speaker is presided over by the Chief Justice or a Judge designated by him, as provided for by the Constitution of Uganda. After the election of the Speaker, the newly elected Speaker presides over the election of the Deputy Speaker. Members of the 12th Parliament were sworn in last week, and are meeting for the first time at the Kololo Independence Grounds.
