By Ronaldo N Kalangi

Nnabagereka of Buganda, Sylvia Nagginda has urged all government leaders who are in charge of a national budget to stop politicalizing health funds because it’s an issue that affects all Ugandans.

While speaking at the requiem mass service of her dad, John Lutwaama Ssebugwaawo at Namirembe Cathedral,the Buganda queen advised government to add more funds in the health sector so that people can be treated. “I want to applaud all these medical workers in Uganda. With their little funds, they have decided to remain here and work on Ugandans when their demand is too high abroad,” she said.

Nagginda went on to tell the mourners that her dad died of kidney and heart failure,  a disease she said needs heavy treatment and funding.

She revealed that her father worked for unity,love and was one of the scrupulous men in Uganda .
