Museveni’s aunt dies at 97

President Museveni Sunday announced the death of one of his aunts, Kaaka Jiresi Keminagano.

Jiresi, 97, died Saturday evening at Nakasaero Hospital in Kampala from conditions related to old age and long-time immobility in a wheelchair, according to a statement tweeted by the president on Sunday.

“She will be buried at Rwakitura, tomorrow. Only very few people have been requested to conduct the burial in accordance with the COVID-19 regulations. The relatives, acquaintances, and friends, are requested not to try and congregate at the burial because it is dangerous and has no value addition,” Mr Museveni, 76, said.

According to the president, a video recording of the burial will be done and shared with all concerned.

“We praise the Lord Almighty for her long life. May her soul rest in eternal peace. This is to inform all relatives, friends, acquaintances, and the NRM fraternity,” he added.

President Museveni on June 18 reimposed a 42-day lockdown to contain surging cases of Covid-19.

Public gatherings were banned as part of the measures to contain community infections.

Since late May, Uganda has been gripped by a second wave of the coronavirus, fanned by the Delta variant.

A spike in cases overwhelmed hospitals and triggered shortages of key facilities including oxygen, beds and personal protective equipment like masks and hazardous material suits.

The government has so far failed to purchase any vaccines, with officials saying the country had been priced out of the market by richer buyers like the West.

Slightly over a million people have received a jab, all from donated shipments, out of a population of 41 million.

In a joint statement by UPDF and Defence Ministry Spokesperson Brig Gen Flavia Byekwaso and her counterpart Leon-Richard Cibangu Kasonga of FARDC on January 10, both Kampala and Kinshansa agree that there could be plans by some groups to harm the public and blame such acts on the Ugandan army. “The FADRC and the UPDF wish to alert the public that they have critical information about the existence, in the region in which they lead military operations, of an armed group harbouring sinister clandestine plans deliberately intended to sabotage the joint military action against the ADF active in the East of DRC and discredit operation SHUJAA,” said Byekwaso and Kasonga in a jo...
