The chairman was trying to block the RDC and her coronavirus taskforce from taking away the government vehicle in line with the presidential directive (PHOTO/Courtesy).

BUNYANGABU – Bunyangabu District chairman James Ategeka Mugarama, alias Entale, who slapped the Resident District Commissioner, Ms Jane Asiimwe, was on Wednesday, April 1, 2020 charged with assault.

Ategeka appeared before Fort Portal Grade Two Magistrates Court
presided over by Nathan Mulindwa who read to him the charge which he denied.

Mr Ategeka then applied for bail which Mr Mulidwa granted to him at Shs1m.
The magistrates then ordered Ategeka to return to court on April 28, 2020 for further mention of the case.

Ategeka is said to have lost his cool on Tuesday after the RDC compelled him to park a government vehicle as per the presidential directive in the face of coronavirus.

In the video that went viral on Tuesday, March 31, Ategeka is seen exchanging words with Ms Asiimwe before he eventually slaps her. He is then restrained by the people nearby.

This comes after President Museveni on Monday night announced a government ban on gatherings of more than five people.

Also, except for cargo transporters (trains, lorries, pickups, etc), starting on Teuesday March 31, 2020 from 7pm, there will be a curfew across the whole of Uganda.

The exemption of cargo transporters does not apply to boda bodas.

Government vehicles will be pooled and moved to the district offices to be used for emergency situations, including delivering critical patients to hospitals, the president announced.

Government workers were ordered to stay at home for the 14 days, save for security agencies, health workers and a few other workers to be clearly communicated.

Uganda has registered 33 cases of Coronavirus in March and the government is looking to stem the spread by taking drastic action, arguing that if infections continue to rise, the healthcare system will quickly be overstretched.
