The event was hosted at St. Barnabas Secondary School Karujanga in Katuna Town council, Ndorwa West County and Nankabirwa was guest of honour.
But as the ministers made their way back in the chartered aircraft registration number 5X-KEG, the helicopter got tangled in electric wires on takeoff forcing the pilot to crash land.
