Mayanja Nkangi in critical condition - family

Former justice and constitutional affairs minister Joash Mayanja Nkangi is still in critical condition, his family says.

His daughter, Josephine Mayanja, told New Vision on phone that the former finance minister is having difficulty in breathing.

She said her father who is also the former Buganda Katikkiro is undergoing medication at Kampala International Hospital.

"His condition is not good - he cannot hear or communicate. We just pray that he gets well soon."

Mayanja Nkangi, 85, has been for some time undergoing treatment for pneumonia pending transfer to India for further treatment, according to a family spokesperson.

Nkangi is a former chairperson of Uganda Land Commission (ULC).


He is also a former MP for Masaka East and founder member of both Kabaka Yekka Youth Wing and Conservative Party (CP).
