The mother to MP Ntungamo municipality Gerald Karuhanga was yesterday buried at night after the burial turned into a political platform for most of the politicians.
Many politicians castigated the government for failing to deliver services to the Ugandans.
The late Jova Kyomugisha mother to Karuhanga who is also the wife to Ntungamo municipality mayor Jacob Kafureeka was the first person to be buried at night according to residents.
The burial was attended by over 30 MPs and other politicians such as Mwesigwa Rukutana, Dr Kizza Besigye, People Power movement leader Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine, and Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu among others.
President Yoweri Museveni who sent a condolence message through the minister of state for labor, employment and industrial relations Mwesigwa Rukutana revealed that the government is making plans to construct a centre where all cancer patients will be diagnosed and treated in the country instead of going abroad.
He thanked the late Jova for being an NRM pillar in Ntungamo Municipality, and being supportive to her husband in all his duties.
The president contributed 10m shillings towards the burial expenses.
However, other leaders decried what they termed as the country’s sick healthcare system that has left many Ugandans dead.
The leaders wondered why the government continues to fund political activities at the expense of the building and equipping hospitals.
