Major General Ali Bamuze did not die from State House.
“There have been misleading reports on Social Media and in the Monitor Newspaper under the headline “Bamuze collapses, dies” in which they quote a relative as having said the fallen Major General Ali Bamuze missed a step, fell and vomited blood before collapsing in State House, Entebbe,” a statement issued Monday said.
State House clarified that Gen. Bamuze had no scheduled appointment and was not anywhere near State House and could therefore not have collapsed there.
Bamuze circled during a meeting at Bwebajja as the President leaves.
Gen. Bamuze was however part of the UPDF officers who attended an Operation Wealth Creation meeting organized by the Commander of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen. Katumba Wamala at J&M Hotel in Bwebajja along Entebbe Road. The meeting was addressed by President Yoweri Museveni.
Gen. Bamuze collapsed shortly after the President had left and was immediately rushed to Nakasero Hospital. He was pronounced dead on arrival.
An autopsy is being carried out to establish the cause of death. He will be laid to rest on October 7, 2015 at his ancestral home in Aringa County, Yumbe District.
