<p>Comedian Patrick Salvado also posted: <em>"Dear IGP, this gentleman in your force deserves a medal 🏅 and promotion. He is one of the few traffic officers who does his job with passion and sacrifice. Come rain or sunshine, he performs his duties beyond expectations. I use Mawanda Road daily, but on the days he works, traffic flows exceptionally well because of his efforts. He is our hero. A promotion is well-deserved to motivate others."</em></p>

<p>On Monday, the Minister of Science and Innovation, Dr. Monica Musenero, accompanied by clerics from the Inter-religious Council of Uganda (IRCU), led by Bishop Joshua Lwere, visited Abdallah Tusiime. The bishop noted that the IRCU is willing to sponsor his firstborn’s education up to university. IRCU and the minister also offered him financial support.</p>
