Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) customs enforcement team at Busitema has intercepted a man using an ambulance to smuggle bags of rice.
The officer at the URA customs says instead of transporting patients, the culprit was carrying rice destined for delivery to Kampala. He has been handed over to police pending further investigation.
Earlier this week, President Museveni prohibited all people to people movement by everybody including those using their private vehicles, bodabodas, tuk tuks etc.
Museveni said this was done because some private car owners had turned their vehicles into public transport vehicles “without license”, an act that was against their efforts of preventing the further spread of coronavirus.
Vehicles that belong to the Army, Police, health services and essential services were given the green light to continue moving around the country.
The total number of COVID-19 confirmed cases in Uganda still stands at 48 after all the 398 samples that were tested yesterday came out negative.
