CSCEC Under Fire Over Deadly Busabala Barriers

People blame poor road design for the death of businessman Rajiv Ruparelia. His sports car hit unmarked barriers at the Busabala Flyover, flipped over, and caught fire early Saturday morning. A witness said he almost crashed there himself because barriers appear at night with no warning signs.

China State Construction Engineering Corporation built this road as part of a Shs 258 billion project. The crash happened on their construction site where the Najjanankumbi-Busabala Road connects to major highways. Traffic police are checking if proper signs were missing from the roundabout area.

Rajiv drove a powerful Nissan GTR that can reach high speeds very quickly. Fire crews arrived after the car was already burning. Road deaths keep rising across Uganda, with about 14 people dying every day last year. Many Ugandans want answers about why such dangerous road conditions exist on a new highway project.
