Residents of Doho Ward in Industrial City Division, Mbale City were on the evening of Wednesday, 4th May, 2023 treated to free drama after an 87 year old man from Namisindwa district was got lost and stranded.
The old man identified as George Bwayo, a resident of Buweri village, Naluboka parish, Bupoto Sub County in Namisindwa district was found by Good Samaritans loitering aimlessly in the area.
According to eyewitnesses, Bwayo was got at Doho by good Samaritans who tried to trace his origins such that they can take him back since he was lost and stranded.
While speaking to our reporter in an exclusive interview, Bwayo says that he came to eat bread from a factory belonging to a person he only knew as Richard.
He adds that he thought that he will get Richard unfortunately he failed to locate his factory and home.
However, one of his sons who preferred anonymity told our reporter that Bwayo was paid Shs75, 000 SAGE allowance on Tuesday, 2nd May, 2023 at the district.
