ICT Minister John Nasasira has refuted claims of his death at a hospital in India.
Nasasira said he was “saddened” by what he described as “totally inaccurate and fabricated” reports of his alleged demise claims ChimpReports.
“It was sad hearing about my death while I am still alive,” Nasasira told us in a message.
Word spread on social media platforms on Monday night that Nasasira was dead.
The rumours came at a time when the country was struggling to recover from the shock caused by Gen Aronda Nyakairima’s death in Dubai.
The wealthy minister is currently in London for a medical operation.
He recently got an injury in India which compelled his premature exit from politics.
“I am now using my iPad on a wireless internet but by Thursday my phones will be on after the operation,” he assured.
“But I had to get any possible way of stopping these lies that I have died in a hospital in India moreover I am in London.”
Nasasira will not stand as an MP for Kazo constituency in the 2016 elections due to ill health.
Some of his constituents recently gathered at Kabira Country Club in Bukoto, Kampala where they urged him to seek nomination for the MP post.
Nasasira rejected the offer, saying his health could not allow him fully participate in campaigns for the MP slot.
“Please make sure you let people know that I am alive and I will soon be back to Uganda,” Nasasira said
