Uganda: Attorney Held for Drink-Driving

Kampala — Traffic Police yesterday arrested a Principal State Attorney in the Registrar of Companies' office and impounded his car on allegations of drink-driving. The attorney was arrested after an incident in which he allegedly lost control of his car and rammed into a roundabout on Shimoni Road Subway at around 8am.

Metropolitan Police spokesman Ibin Ssenkumbi said the accident prompted them to do a test to establish whether he was driving under the influence of alcohol. "When we tested him with a breathalyser, we found out that he had consumed alcohol five times the recommended limit for motorists," Mr Ssenkumbi said.
