THE Inhebantu (wife of the Kyabazinga) of Busoga, Alice Muloki, is dead. She died suddenly yesterday morning at their palace in Nakabango, 14km on the Jinja-Kamuli road in Jinja district.
Dr. Benon Wanume, the Kyabazinga institution’s director for health services, said Alice died of a cardiac (heart) complication following hypertension at around 5:30am.
“She developed a granting breath (breathing difficulty) about 5:00am. By the time an ambulance from Jinja hospital arrived, she was frothing through the nose and mouth. We tried our best but it was too late to save her life,†Wanume said.
Wanume told The New Vision yesterday that before her death, the Inhebantu also suffered a mild high-blood pressure.
“We are taking the body to Mulago Hospital for a post-mortem to establish other details but this might have been the actual cause of her death,†he explained.
Born on November 19, 1929, Alice Muloki studied at Buckley High School in Iganga, went to Gayaza for O’level and trained as a Grade 3 teacher at Buloba Primary Teachers’ College near Kampala.
She taught at Buckley before she was transferred to Kamuli.
She was working as a principal at Bishop Willis Core Primary Teachers’ College before she resigned after getting married to the Kyabazinga of Busoga, Henry Wako Muloki (right), on January 21, 1966.
Alice has been championing the Girl Child Education and Health Programme in Busoga in her capacity as Inhebantu.
Kyabazinga’s director for information Moses Lwokyaza said, “The burial, yet to be announced, will be preceded by a funeral service at Bugembe Cathedral.â€
