Mukono quarry buries businessman

Residents of Nsube Mukono District exhumed a businessman who was on Monday killed and buried by collapsing walls of a stone quarry where he was excavating stones.
Grief-stricken residents at the scene believe the quarry walls were softened by the ongoing heavy rains which led to the accident.
The deceased was identified as Junior Kazibwe, 37, also a resident of Nsuube village.
His colleagues who had also gone to the quarry were shocked to find a heap of soil covering the place where their friend had gone to work.
They raised an alarm which attracted residents, and they immediately began trying to retrieve his body. The accident was said to have occurred at around 8.30 am. The police fire brigade were summoned but told residents on arrival that they could do nothing since they had no excavator. His colleagues eventually pulled his body out about three hours later.
The LC I NRM Chairman Ronald Kambugu advised residents to always take care when going for stone quarrying and to avoid doing their business during rain seasons.
The body was later taken by the police to Kawolo hospital.
