In Bushenyi ………

Two people have already died in kitagata parish kyeizoba sub county in bushenyi district after eating meat of a dead animal suspected to be suffering from anthrax disease.

According to bushenyi district vice chairman who doubles as the area district councilor of the above sub-county told mourners at the burial of the late Andrew Bweyare that samples of the two people suspected to have eaten and died of the suspected disease were taken to Entebbe government laboratory for testing to confirm whether its Anthrax or not.

Mr. Ndyahoza Peter added that as soon as results come to Bushenyi, they will tell people the next course of action. He however warned the public, especially those in Bushenyi and outside to stop eating the meat of dead animals.

Efforts to get the district veterinary officer Dr Robert Ntukunda did not yield any fruits as he confirmed to www. mknewslink.com in a text message that he was held up in a serious meeting of anthrax disease scare in Bushenyi district.

The chairman LC3 kyeizooba Mr. Bakikunde who was in the affected parish, never attended the burial of the late Andrew Bweyare  but sent the message through  the MC Mr Sam Kironde that people of kyeizoba and beyond should be careful and stop eating meat of the dead animals because the scare is eminent.
