THE MUYEMBE JUNCTION, A DEATH TRAP

It's about 10:00pm and the muyembe junction is buzzing with people stealing parts from a truck carrying irish potatoes from kapchorwa district that lost control, failed to break and crushed into the eucalyptus trees download. 

This is after another accident was reported in the same area, caused by a speeding car that nocked dead a young entrepreneur who was burried on Monday. 

A total of about..... have been reported in that junction area and the cause seems to be obvious. 

The road descent from the kapchorwa hills is steep, it has no humps or warning signage. It winds off a sharp bend which can not easily be seen by an unsuspecting driver. 

By press time, no comment had been issued by the local authorities about these incidents.
