The Uganda High Court has directed the parents of Budo Junior School to speed up their negotiations with the Uganda government for an out of court settlement over the Budo fire inferno.
The Budo Junior parents are demanding compensation from the Uganda government for their burnt children. The 2008 fire inferno whose cause is still unknown claimed the lives of 20 children. The suspects arrested for the fire were released by court due to lack of sufficient evidence.
