Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, joined the family and media fraternity to pray and eulogize the late Muhumuza Edward 32, a journalist with NTV who passed on in a shocking motor vehicle accident at the Entebbe express highway in the early hours of Saturday.
Speaking at the funeral service at seventh-day adventist Church Kampala central, the Lord Mayor said that Edward was not only an outstanding journalist but was Professional at all times in his work, adding that it was so saddening to lose him at such a young age when his family, budding career and services to the Country are most required.
He implored the Uganda police to interrogate further the challenge with the new Entebbe Express in the face of increased road crashes and carnage on that Road.
The Lord Mayor expressed his dismay at the lack of funding for Road safety giving an example of Road safety initiatives in Kampala which are fully funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies, he called on the Central government to allocate funds to Road safety initiatives in face of increased fatalities on the roads, citing statistics from the annual Kampala City Road safety report of Seven deaths for every Hundred thousand people.
The Late Edward Muhumuza was also eulogized by friends and colleagues as a very brilliant and dedicated person who selflessly offered his services not only in the media but also at his church.
In his memory, the church launched the HOPE channel Uganda TV which he championed and it's believed he very much wanted to witness this launch one day.
In attendance was the Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson Patrick Onyango amongst others.
