Only in Uganda: Ambulance car pools
Today I was taking some young Basoga back to some Busoga boarding schools. I was going through the whole “did you bring brooms and TP” nonsense, when lo and behold, a big new ambulance pulled up next to my car in the parking lot.
If you are assuming it was an emergency, you are incorrect. It was someone bringing a child to school. Complete with a driver who stayed baking in the car the whole time. (I hate that, by the way. People need to give their drivers slightly more respect and consideration in general).
So anyway, there was a brand-new, probably-donated-by-some-foreign-government, ambulance from Iganga Hospital dropping a child at school in Jinja.
I will not even go into the question of on how many levels this is wrong. I will just say: Only in Uganda.
my goodness! like yesto going home and this ambulance , not wanting to stop at the traffic lights gets all their lights and sound on and zoom past the lights and we wait catch up with it later nga they are back to noermal , no lights no, siren wials…they just dint wanna wait at the lights!
and they prolly came with the full siren blazing and getting cars out of the way…just so they could drop a child to school
Echoing the emrys..
Can I suggest that you name and shame? That is, if you are able to recall the car plates. Not that naming/shaming will make any difference…do it for the sake of it.
hahaha… that is classic…
special special uganda…
