Specifically, at Kabale police station, the distribution started about 10 minutes to 09:00 AM. Heads of schools were seen arriving to collect exams with umbrellas. Some heads of schools like Medard Turamyomwe Salongo of Nyamweru secondary school in Nyamweru sub-county, Rubanda district were seen braving the rain to transport the exams on a motorcycle.
