Government extends its deepest condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones, the King David Junior School community, and everyone affected by the tragic school bus accident in Kapchorwa.
Support has been mobilised for the injured, survivors, and bereaved families, while Government continues to coordinate emergency response efforts with relevant authorities.
As an immediate safety measure, all school trips and tours involving road travel have been suspended until further notice. Government is also implementing enhanced school transport safety measures to strengthen vehicle inspections, enforce compliance, and safeguard the lives of learners.
We call upon all Ugandans to keep the affected families in their thoughts and prayers as we work together to prevent such tragedies in the future.
