The ambulance was emblazoned with her portrait. She said it was meant to “help ease access, especially for women, children and elderly, to health facilities”.

However, Ms Anite is said to have withdrawn the ambulance last week.
Speaking to Daily Monitor at the weekend, the municipal health inspector, Mr Joel Azabo, said the authorities have not received any formal communication from the hospital administration on why the ambulance is missing from the parking yard

Koboko town Mayor Wilson Sanya was quoted as saying the ambulance had been handed back to the minister.

“I confirm that the ambulance was handed back to Anite by the district. The last time I spoke to the ambulance driver, he confirmed that it had been taken back on the minister’s orders,” he told Daily Monitor.
