Igihombo gikomeye cyateye agahinda mu gihugu cya Uganda nyuma y’urupfu rw’umunyemari w’umusore Rajiv Ruparelia, wahitanywe n’impanuka y’imodoka yabereye mu karere ka Wakiso, kuri uyu wa mbere w’iki cyumweru.
Amakuru y’uru rupfu yashyizwe ahagaragara na Polisi ya Uganda, aho yatangaje ko iyo mpanuka yabereye ahazwi nka Busabala Flyover, mu gace ka Makindye-Ssabagabo kari mu ntara ya Wakiso. Rajiv, wari ufite imyaka 35 y’amavuko, yari umwana wa Sudhir Ruparelia, umwe mu baherwe bakomeye kurusha abandi muri Uganda.
Nk’uko Polisi yabigaragaje, Rajiv yari atwaye imodoka yo mu bwoko bwa Nissan GT-R, aho yari aturutse Kajjansi yerekeza i Munyonyo. Ageze mu gice cya Busabala, imodoka ye yagonze inkuta z’ibyuma ziri ahari kubakwa umuhanda, bituma ihita ihirima igwa mu gace kabamo imicanga n’ibikoresho by’ubwubatsi, maze ihita ifatwa n’inkongi y’umuriro. Rajiv yahise ahasiga ubuzima.
Uyu musore wagaragazaga impano idasanzwe mu by’ubucuruzi yari umuyobozi mukuru wa Ruparelia Group, ikigo gikomeye mu gihugu, gifite imishinga itandukanye irimo iby’amahoteli, ibigo by’uburezi, ibigo by’imari, ndetse n’ishoramari mu ikoranabuhanga. Ibikorwa bye byagiye bihindura ubuzima bw’abatari bake, by’umwihariko urubyiruko rwabonagamo akazi n’amahirwe yo gutera imbere.
Rajiv azibukirwa kandi nk’umuntu wicisha bugufi, wifatanyaga n’abaturage mu bikorwa by’ubugiraneza no gufasha abatishoboye. Ni umwe mu banyemari bake bavugwaga neza n’imiryango myinshi, kubera umutima mwiza no gufasha abandi nta buryarya.
Urupfu rwe rwashenguye abantu batandukanye barimo abayobozi, abacuruzi, abahanzi ndetse n’abaturage basanzwe. Madamu Anita Annet Among, umuyobozi w’inteko ishinga amategeko ya Uganda, yanditse ku mbuga nkoranyambaga ko yifatanyije n’umuryango wa Rajiv mu kababaro, yongeraho ko yanyuzwe n’uruhare yagize mu guteza imbere ubukungu bw’igihugu.
Mu butumwa bwe, yagize ati: “Imana ihe iruhuko ridashira roho ya Rajiv. Imiryango yose ifite agahinda n’akababaro, Imana ibahumurize.”
Robert Kyagulanyi, uzwi cyane ku izina rya Bobi Wine, umunyapolitiki n’umuririmbyi ukunzwe cyane ndetse unazwiho kutavuga rumwe n’ubutegetsi buriho, na we yavuze ko yatunguwe kandi akababazwa n’urupfu rwa Rajiv. Yamugaragaje nk’umuntu w’umunyakuri, wicisha bugufi, kandi wifuzaga iterambere rusange.
Ati: “Nubwo twari tudafitanye ubucuti bwa bugufi, Rajiv yari umuntu wicisha bugufi, wuje urukundo, kandi utarashyiraga imbere inyungu ze gusa.”
Biteganyijwe ko umuhango wo gushyingura Rajiv Ruparelia uzaba ku wa gatanu w’iki cyumweru. Nk’uko umuco w’Abahindu ubiteganya, umurambo we uzatwikwa, bikaba biri mu mategeko y’umuco n’imyemerere y’iyo miryango.
Abaturage benshi bategereje uwo muhango n’umutima uremerewe, bibaza uburyo igihugu kibuze umuntu w’ingenzi nk’uriya akiri muto, kandi agifite byinshi yari agiye kugeraho.
Rest in peace Rajiv
