A 24-year-old Makerere University finalist has been found dead in his bed in their country home in Rubanda district.
Balaam Inshuti Kabaasa, had reportedly traveled upcountry to campaign for his father, Bruce Balaba Kabaasa who is contesting for the Rubanda West parliamentary race in the NRM primaries.
A day before his death, he together with others supervised the distribution of farming hoes to the Bufundi store in Kacerere trading Centre.
Family and friends described him as a joyous and hardworking youth.
“Rest in peace, dear Inshutti Balaam Kabaasa. Your time at Makerere University may have been cut short, but the memories and experiences you shared with us will never fade,” Makerere University 92nd Guild Union eulogized.
“It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the sudden death of our beloved son and friend Nshuti Balaam Kabaasa,” family said. “We shall truly miss our joyous friend and son Balaam. May your 24-year-old soul rest in peace.”
AYAMBA, a close friend, shared memories of their time at university, recalling Balaam’s humor, talent, and warmth.
“The jokes at Livingstone, the art pieces he made… just can’t imagine how he struggled alone in the night, only to be found dead in his bed.”
Balaam was a student of Bachelor of Commerce in his final year.
May His Soul Rest In Peace.
