This monument stands in tribute to John Hanning Speke, the British explorer and first European to discover Lake Victoria and secondly the source of the River Nile. Apparently there was some controversy over this but he managed to shoot himself during a partridge shoot on the day of a scheduled debate. Sounds odd!
