ENTEBBE — Wakiso District Woman Member of Parliament Hon. Betty Ethel Naluyima visited Entebbe Regional Referral Hospital, where she spoke with medical personnel treating survivors of the building collapse in Bwerenga-Kawuku, Wakiso District.
Naluyima’s visit focused on the condition of the survivors and the medical attention they were receiving following the tragic collapse of a building under construction in the area. The incident triggered an emergency response as rescue teams worked to save people trapped beneath the rubble.
During her engagement at the hospital, the legislator interacted with the medical personnel responsible for treating the injured survivors. The visit provided an opportunity to obtain information about the patients’ condition and the treatment being administered to those who had been rescued.
The collapse raised concerns about construction safety and the protection of people working at building sites. Emergency teams responded to the incident, while investigations were initiated to establish the circumstances that led to the collapse of the structure.
Naluyima’s engagement with the survivors’ treatment team came amid wider public concern over the incident and the welfare of those affected. The survivors required medical attention as authorities continued working to establish the full circumstances surrounding the disaster.
In a related development, the Wakiso District Woman MP had also engaged with 20 youths who were detained at Entebbe Police Station following the burial of former Busiro South Member of Parliament Charles Matovu. The interaction brought attention to the situation of the youths following the burial-related incident.
The youths’ detention followed tensions during Matovu’s burial, where an attack on Kibuku County MP Herbert Kinobere and other mourners was reported. Police subsequently arrested 20 suspects in connection with the incident and continued investigations into the alleged attack.
By engaging with both the medical personnel attending to the building-collapse survivors and the detained youths, Naluyima addressed two separate situations that had attracted public attention in the Entebbe area. The engagements involved concerns about the welfare of injured people and the circumstances surrounding the detention of individuals after a burial ceremony.
Naluyima’s engagements highlighted the importance of following up on people affected by emergencies while also paying attention to developments involving residents and law enforcement authorities. Her visit to the hospital brought attention to the survivors’ ongoing medical needs as the community awaited further developments surrounding the building collapse.
