The Officer in Charge of Traffic at Kajjansi Police Station, ASP Mujuni Samuel, has urged motorists and other road users along the Entebbe Road corridor to strictly observe traffic regulations and embrace safer road use practices to reduce road crashes and save lives.
Mujuni made the call on August 27, 2026, during a public road safety awareness and traffic management campaign along the Kajjansi–Kitende stretch of Entebbe Road.
The campaign was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Kitende Breeze Dream Innovators Buddy Group as part of efforts to sensitise commuters and other road users about responsible road use and traffic safety.
Mujuni commended the Rotary Club of Kitende Breeze for partnering with police in promoting road safety, noting that enforcement alone cannot end the increasing number of road crashes.
“Enforcement alone cannot stop this carnage. It requires a concerted effort involving the community to influence positive road-user behaviour,” Mujuni said.
He described the club’s decision to extend road safety sensitisation to schools, churches, taxi stages and boda boda stages as a strategic approach to reaching a wider section of the road-user community.
Mujuni also applauded the Rotary Club for supporting road safety initiatives through the provision of reflective materials and public education.
“Your support in providing reflectors and road safety education is timely. Together, we can change road-user behaviour because every life lost is preventable,” he said.
He appealed to motorists to slow down, avoid careless overtaking, wear helmets and seat belts, refrain from drinking and driving, and respect pedestrians.
“Arrive alive, not dead on arrival,” Mujuni cautioned.
He added that although police had intensified traffic enforcement operations, individual discipline among road users remained critical in preventing crashes.
“We have intensified operations, but your discipline is the first policing,” Mujuni said.
Meanwhile, Annet Mary Nanziri, also known as Nana Malaika, the chief mobiliser of the Rotary Club of Kitende Breeze Dream Innovators Buddy Group, said the road safety campaign was prompted by the increasing number of road crashes and incidents along the Entebbe Road corridor.
Nanziri said club members distributed more than 250 flyers containing road safety messages to motorists, pedestrians and other road users, while also encouraging members of the public to join the Rotary movement and support initiatives aimed at helping vulnerable communities.
She added that the group had also purchased more than 284 kits for the Rotary Cancer Run.
Nanziri thanked the police and other road-user stakeholders for supporting the road safety campaign, saying their partnership was essential in creating safer communities.
She said new members interested in joining the Rotary Club of Kitende Breeze were welcome to come on board so that they could collectively improve the welfare of vulnerable people in the community.
The club meets every Thursday at Kaaro Chill and Grill in Kitende and, according to Nanziri, remains committed to working with various stakeholders to improve the lives of vulnerable communities.
