Reports from the National Unity Platform (NUP) indicate that Makindye West MP Allan Sewanyana has been admitted at Mulago Hospital

Media reports in Kampala indicate that Ssewanyana is critically ill and admitted with an undisclosed illness.

The news about the MP was confirmed by the spokesperson of the Opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) Mr Joel Ssenyonyi.

Ssenyonyi who is also the Nakawa West MP, told journalists on Monday January 23, that Ssewanyana is battling lung-related complications and can neither walk nor stand on his own.

He added that the legislator is in great pain and requires specialised medical care.

“He was secretly transferred there for treatment. When we got there, we were denied access to him,” Ssenyonyi said outside Mulago hospital entrance.

He said the party is not aware how he was transferred from Luzira prison to Mulago

Ssewanyana’s lawyer Erias Lukwago, who had come earlier, was permitted to see him because he had a court order authorising him to consult with his client.

Hon Ssewanyana together with Kawempe North MP Hon Muhammad Ssegirinya have now spent more than a year in jail for several charges including murder, attempted murder, aiding and abetting terrorism, stemming from 2021 murders in greater Masaka spate of killings that left 26 people dead.
