The Kawempe North Member of Parliament, Muhammad Ssegirinya, who has been hospitalized at Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi for more than three months, is reported to have regained consciousness.
NUP president, Robert Kyagulanyi, who recently returned from the hospital, says that the legislator can now speak, eat, walk, and recognize visitors, a significant improvement from his condition when he was admitted on December 23rd, 2023.
"I passed by Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi to check on Comrade Ssegirinya Muhammad, where he is undergoing treatment.
I was pleased to find that his health has greatly improved and he is rapidly responding to medication. He is no longer in intensive care, he walks around by himself, and his appetite is better than it was a few weeks ago. Let’s continue praying for and supporting him. By the grace of God, he will get well soon," Kyagulanyi posted on social media.
However, Ssegirinya continues to battle multiple organ complications and requires prayers for a complete recovery. He revealed this during a court session at the International Crimes Division of the High Court, where Ssegirinya and his Makindye West counterpart, Aloysius Allan Ssewanyana, along with four others, are facing charges of terrorism.
The legislators, along with Jackson Kanyike, John Mugerwa, Bull Wamala, and Mike Sserwadda, are accused of terrorism, murder, and attempted murder in connection with machete killings in the greater Masaka District in 2021.
