 Uganda Peoples' Defense Forces (UPDF) liaison officer at the East African Community headquarters in Arusha in Tanzania, Brigadier Victor Twesigye is dead. 

 

Brigadier Twesigye passed away at his home in Nyarushanje, Rukungiri district Thursday according to UPDF spokesperson, Brigadier Richard Karemire.

"The deceased fell in the bathroom at his home,” Karemire said. Earlier in the week, UPDF also lost its chief of staff reserve forces Maj Gen Eric Mukasa at Nakasero Hospital in Kampala.
"We have lost yet another gallant officer, General Eric Mukasa, the chief of staff of the Reserve Forces, he passed away at Nakasero RIP,” said Karemire.

Sources at Nakasero hospital say Mukasa suffered cardiac Arrest. The death of the two senior army officers brings to four the number of officers who have died within a space of one month.
On Tuesday, Brig Bell Tushabe also passed away at Nakasero hospital due to multiple organ failure. Last month, Maj. Gen. Kasirye Ggwanga also breathed his last Nakasero hospital. Gwanga breathed his last on June 9 after undergoing a successful operation to remove a blood clot in one of the vessels in his head.
