AGONY: We lost our pregnancy due to COVID-19 bureaucracy in Wakiso

FACEBOOK: My name is Nsumba Derek,

Today 06/04/2020 we lost our pregnancy because of the stupid procedures (bylaws) one has to go through to get a movement permit in case of a medical emagency. You see my wife had a shirodkar stitch the other week Friday 27/03/2020 and yesterday 05/04/2020 (Sunday) evening developed complications after cafew hours, I had the car and fuel but no movement permit. And kibooko by L.D.U’s who don’t listen to reason where I live is rampant. So I had to wait till morning to to get permission to take her to hospital, had I taken her last night our baby would be saved. But even in the morning I had to run to the L.C,police post like a headless chicken , RDC’s numbers were busy as hell. By the time the L.C chairman wrote me something to move with it was too late! Today was my 10 year old daughter’s birthday but instead of celebrating it we ended up mourning our loss! I wouldn’t want anybody to go through the pain and stress that we went through today!! So please government please review that bylaw and save lives of innocent Ugandan citizens.
