{UAH} Andrew Lwanga Appeal for Medical Support.

Sad story of Andrew Lwanga!

 

In January 12, 2015, Lwanga like every breadwinner of a family set out to his usual work routine as a journalist in Uganda, however since that fateful day events have turned down trend for the life of a promising young man. Since then he is incapacitated and unable to fend for himself not alone his family and this was the actions of one a senior serving police officer, Superintendent of Police (SP) Joram Mwesigye who inflicted this grievous injury on him.

Lwanga`s fateful story!

According to his own narration, Lwanga said on that day, he left the newsroom, to go out and capture pictures that would tell a story to the world. But he never told the story. Why? Superintendent of Police (SP) Joram Mwesigye, did not only fail the journalist from executing his work, of shooting the pictures, the officer also broke the camera and caused the journalist to sustain a broken spine.

"Four journalists, including myself, went on filming the incidents. While there, Joram came again with his car. He came out holding a club and started beating the boys who had been arrested. Later they were put on the police pick-up truck". Lwanga said.

"I was filming all the police actions. Immediately, the last boy was pushed onto the car, Joram turned on me. I don't why, because we were four journalists. He hit me with the club, I grabbed it. Remember I had a camera in one hand. He hit on the head about four times and I fell down. And I could not see anything anymore. But the police men picked me threw me into Joram's car as another police man sat on me as they drove to Old Kampala police station".

This evident in the video in video clip I have circulated.

 "I am not sure whether I will be able to walk again without the help of crutches or even go back to work," says Mr. Andrew Lwanga.

While giving his testimony in the court, Lwanga informed the Magistrate's Court "My entire body was subjected to a scan and the doctors found that my spine was bent and the bones had separated".

"Despite getting treatment from Nsambya Hospital, I am still in great pain. Your worship I cannot sleep, sit or move without a cloth tightly wrapped around my waist," Mr. Lwanga said with tears rolling down his cheeks.

He said: "The injuries I sustained have rendered me helpless; my child has not gone back to school and I cannot pay my rent because I have since stopped working."
