Death has engulfed the National Unity Platform (NUP) with the passing on of the party head of the elders league, Mzee William Byarugaba this morning.
“We have woken up to the sad news of the passing on of Mzee William Byarugaba commonly known as Jajja NUP, who has been serving as the head of the Elders’ League of @NUP_Ug,” NUP principal Robert Kyagulanyi announced
Byarugaba has been battling cancer at Boston Medical Center in the USA where he died today in the morning.
Kyagulanyi described him as a great statesman who devoted the latter days of his life to the struggle for freedom and democracy in Uganda.
“He was very knowledgeable about our country’s history and the present tragectory. It is very unfortunate that he has passed on without seeing the New Uganda that he always envisioned and preached about,” he said
President Bobi Wine further hailed NUP community in Boston for taking care of Byarugaba while he stayed in the US for treatment. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
