DEFINITION OF INSURANCE

Insurance is a contract whereby one party, the
1. insurer, in return for a consideration, the premium,
undertakes to pay to the other party, the insured, a
sum of money or its equivalent in kind upon the
happening of a specified event that is contrary to
the interest of the insured.
It is important to insure for full value so that the
insured is not disappointed at claim time. It is also
equally important to maintain premium payments so
that the policy does not lapse which may lead to
loss of whatever premium might have been paid in
respect of some insurance policies.
Insurance, like any other profession, has principles
2. guiding its operations.
They are:- Indemnity, Utmost Good Faith, Insurable
Interest, Subrogation, Contribution and Proximate
Cause.

3. Although insurance
is a contract, the
scope of which is
largely embodies
in a policy, in the
case of motor
vehicle insurance
(third party risks),
the subject is complicated in view o
the intervention
of the state in the
formation of the
contract, in the
formulation of the
rights and liabilities
of the parties as well as in the rights of the beneficiaries of the contract.
4. Motor Insurance is traditionally sub-divided into:
- Third Party Risks Motor Policy;
- Third party and theft cover only;
- Comprehensive.

Indemnity:

5. Compulsory Motor Vehicle Insurance (Third Party Risks)
Policy:

It is a principle whereby the insurer seeks to place the
insured in the same financial position after a loss as he
was in immediately before the loss (as far as possible).

Normally the State feels obliged to enact laws making
it compulsory that any person who runs a motor
vehicle is under duty not to use, or cause or permit
any other person to use it on the road unless any
liability which he/she may thereby incur arising from
the use of the motor vehicle is covered by a policy or
insurance (Third Party Risks) Statute 1998 in case of
Uganda.

Utmost Good Faith:
This means that both parties to the contract have a
duty to disclose, clearly and accurately all material
facts relating to the proposed insurance. Any breach
of this duty by the proposer may entitle the insurer to
repudiate liability. Similarly the insurer is bound to
inform the insured of the extent of cover offered.

6 Scope of compulsory Motor Vehicle Insurance (Third
Party Risks):

Insurable Interest:

The scope of compulsory third party motor insurance
varies from country to country. In some countries, the
liabilities are unlimited while in others they are limited.
In Uganda, the liabilities are limited to shs.1 million per
person and Shs.10 million per vehicle.

For a contract of insurance to be valid, the policyholder must have an interest in the insured item that is
recognized at law whereby he benefits from its safety,
well being or freedom from liability and would be
prejudiced by its damage or the existence of liability.
This is called the insurable interest.

7. Meaning of Third Party:

Subrogation:

The Ultimate beneficiaries of compulsory motor insurance, usually referred to as the “third party,” may be
a passenger or a pedestrian. It follows that the policy
holder himself is not covered if injured while driving an
insured vehicle himself.

It is the right of an insurer to stand in the place of the
insured and exercise all rights of and remedies available to the insured, whether already enforced or not.

8. Excluded parties:

Contribution:

There are certain classes of persons who are excluded
from claiming under compulsory motor insurance.
These include:

It is the principle governing the manner in which the
cost of claims arising on risks covered by two or more
policies is shared between the insurers concerned.

(a) Employees of the insured for death or injuries arising
out of and in the course of employment. Such people
should presumably be covered under the workmen’s
compensation law. They can arrange other types of
insurance cover e.g. persona accident.

Proximate Cause:
This means the active, efficient cause that sets in
motion a train of events which brings about a result,
without the intervention of any force started and
working actively from a new and independent source.

(b) Members of the insured’s household.

Get to know us…..We are Zebras

“MY ROTARACT EXPERIENCE SO FAR”

Species-There are three species of zebra:
Grevy’s, mountain and plains

Hello, am Ssengooba Samuel a Rotaractor from
the Rotaract Club of Bweyogerere Namboole.
I joined Rotaract in (2016) one year back
because I had the zeal to serve.

Speed demons- Zebras are very fast-moving
animals, and can reach speeds of up to
65kmph when galloping across the plains. This
is just fast enough to outpace predators such
as lions. Foals can run with the herd within a
few hours of birth.
Keeping cool-A zebra’s stripy coat is thought
to disperse more than 70 per cent of incoming heat, preventing the animal from overheating in the African sun.
Stripe force-It's thought that a zebra's stripes
serve to help camouflage the animal in long
grass, and distract predators.
Unique animals- A zebra's stripes act like an
equine fingerprint - each individual’s pattern
is unique. Foals recognize their mothers by the
pattern of their stripes, as well as by scent and
call.
Social lives- While Grevy zebra society tends
to be fairly open, that of plains and mountain
zebras is more tight-knit, with the animals
living in harems of up to six breeding females
and their young, with a dominant male. Each
female has a place in the hierarchy. These
groups are so close that if a predator injures
one individual, fellow members will circle it
and attempt to scare the intruder away with
their teeth and hooves.
Sleeping on the hoof- Like horses, zebras sleep
standing up, and usually only when in the
safety of a group.
Safety in numbers- For protection, zebra
groups often come together in large herds,
regularly mixing with other grazers such as
wildebeest. As well as providing more eyes
and ears to look out for danger, a large herd
is confusing to a predator, making it harder to
single out individual prey.
By The Zebra Buddy group

One thing that I hate in life is seeing people
suffering, seeing people take advantage of the
helpless, it does not feel right to me as a
humanitarian and a Rotaractor. Ever since I
joined Rotaract am proud to say that I have
been part and parcel of most of the Rotaract
projects that have been carried out in different
parts of the country. I felt good seeing the
impact we made in Hoima when we treated
and gave out medical supplies to 1614 people
.I felt I had served my purpose to some extent. I
have loved every single minute I have spent
with my fellow rotaractors in my club. They
became my family, my friends and people I
could count on at any moment. Rotaract has
helped me to improve my leadership skills and
groomed me.
The feeling I had when I chaired the installation
of MGP Jimmy Osuret was an incredible experience, the installation was quite a success and I
felt phenomenal. It feels good working with a
team of young people (the Rotaractors) who
are courageous, hardworking, principled,
determined to serve at all costs and carry each

that learning does not end, I have always treasured my Club for the wonderful guest speakers
we have always hosted and am thankful for
the knowledge we have acquired from them.
Thank you.
