A helicopter carrying Prime Minister Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda forced an emergency landing on Friday in the mountainous Kabale district.
The Premier, Chimpreports understands was headed to Kabale Municipality to commission a number of newly finished roads.
He was travelling together with a few of his aides in the recently acquired police chopper.
The pilot however was compelled to make an emergency landing at Rwahi, owing to the horrible weather in the area.
Here, the Prime Minister interacted with locals who swarmed the copter, as he waited for the weather to clear up.

Rugunda’s personal assistant Julius Mucugunzi informed Chimpreports that the rest of the journey had to be traveled by road.
“But is not uncommon here in Kabale,” he told us on phone. “The weather here is often tricky.”
The Premier, Mr Mucunguzi said, proceeded and completed his schedule in the south western district before returning to Kampala.
“He will be at Kololo (Independence Grounds) today as the NRM celebrates its victory in last February’s election,” he added.
