At Wakaliga traffic lights, a Scania with the registration number UBD 269A belonging to Link Bus Services caught fire.

No injuries or deaths were reported, according to Kampala Metropolitan deputy spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire.

However, according to Owoyesigyire, the bus lacked fire extinguishers.

“Our fire prevention and rescue officers saw that the bus did not have its own fire extinguisher.” In the event of a fire, we advise all bus operators to keep fire extinguishers on hand,” Owoyesigyire said.

The fire occurred around two weeks after the Ministry of Works halted Link bus operations following a catastrophic accident that killed more than 20 people and injured several others.

When the ban was lifted, the Minister of Works and Transport, Gen. Edward Katumba Wamala, stated that the buses had been thoroughly inspected and determined to be safe to operate again. (At Wakaliga traffic signals – a Link bus catches fire – celebrity jazz ug )
