In short
The 7,822 people killed on roads in two years of Uganda’s lockdown show the deaths are twice the 3,596 Covid-19 toll. Niwabiine and Mugisha say during the lockdowns, there were very few cars and motorcycles on roads, something that tempted people to speed thus making every crash very lethal.
