MEMBER of Parliament for Rubaga South Constituency, Aloysius Talton Gold Mukasa was saddened by the death of Umar Lweere, a top National Unity Platform mobilizer in Lubaga who passed on yesterday after a short time illness.
The late Umar Lweere has been serving on Local Council One (LC1) Bulwa village, Lubaga Parish in Rubaga South constituency as the village Secretary for Defence.
At the burial function in Bulenga-Kikaaya, Wakiso district, Hon. Mukasa said people like Umar Lweere who stand for the truth and good governance in the country should be given a decent send-off because they choose not to betray their country.
As opposition NUP Party, MP Mukasa said they will dearly miss Lweere because he has been very fundamental in preaching the gospel of democracy and his efforts during the last General elections where the party banked on him to mobilise for its candidates in Lubaga South.
“On behalf of National Unity Platform, I want to salute my brother Umar Lweere for loving his country and for being a great NUP mobilizer. His death has been untimely, gone at a time we badly needed his immense contribution towards liberation of this country. We shall miss you Umar.” Said MP Mukasa.
On this note, Hon. Mukasa pledged to pay school fees for the late Lweere’s children sending a clear message to those in the struggle that their efforts will never be in vain!
MP Mukasa who was in company of wife Lillian, contributed money in cash to help in burial arrangements.
In attendence were; Councillor Ronald Mutumba, Ssemuli Daniel, chairman Buwembo Yusuf, Ssegirinya John Baptist and other leaders.
A down to earth Rubaga South MP, Aloysius Mukasa shocked mourners when he took part in digging the grave of a fallen comrade.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, hundreds of Rubaga South People gathered in Busega to receive maize seeds from their area Member of Parliament Hon. Aloysius Mukasa ahead of a rainy season.

Intrigue and fighting each other will never bring peace amongst us.”

Others have been feeding us on words. Hon. Mukasa gives Lubaga people free clean water every week, and bow he has lobbied for us maize seeds. We will never think about substituting such a leader. Continue serving us our beloved MP, we appreciate.”
