Following a devastating accident last week that claimed the lives of three people while National Unity Platform (NUP) supporters were heading for a rally in Masaka, the party has redoubled its efforts to ensure the safety of its members during the ongoing countrywide mobilization.
As NUP resumes its campaign activities, it has announced a series of measures aimed at preventing further tragedies and safeguarding the well-being of its supporters.
Transportation Safety Guidelines
The party has issued strict guidelines for transportation to and from rallies, including mandatory seatbelt use, limits on passenger capacity, and regular vehicle maintenance checks.
NUP organisers are tasked with ensuring compliance with these guidelines to minimize the risk of accidents on the road.
Emergency Response Teams
NUP has established dedicated emergency response teams equipped with medical supplies and trained personnel to provide immediate assistance in case of accidents or medical emergencies during rallies and campaign events.
These teams will be strategically positioned to respond swiftly to any incidents that may occur.
Communication and Coordination
Improved communication channels have been set up to facilitate better coordination among party members, rally organisers, and law enforcement agencies.
This includes the use of mobile apps and messaging platforms to disseminate important safety information, coordinate logistics, and provide real-time updates during campaign activities.
Safety Training Programmes
NUP is conducting comprehensive training programs to educate its members and volunteers on safety procedures, crowd management techniques, and emergency protocols.
These training sessions will equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to identify and respond effectively to potential risks and emergencies during mobilization efforts.
In light of the tragic loss of supporters in the accident in Masaka, NUP leaders have expressed their heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and have pledged to prioritise the safety and well-being of all-party members and supporters.
Party officials have emphasised the importance of adhering to safety protocols and remaining vigilant to prevent further tragedies as they continue their nationwide mobilisation campaign.
As NUP resumes its countrywide mobilization efforts, the party is taking proactive steps to enhance safety measures and prevent accidents on the road.
By implementing transportation safety guidelines, establishing emergency response teams, improving communication and coordination, and conducting safety training programmes, NUP aims to ensure the well-being of its supporters and minimise the risk of incidents during campaign activities.
Despite the challenges posed by recent events, the party remains committed to engaging with citizens across the country and advocating for positive change in Uganda.
