Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The National Unity Platform (NUP) leadership and supporters on Tuesday converged in Masaka District to pray for Frank Kalibala Ssenteza, one of the ardent party supporters who died during the 2021 election campaigns.<\/p>\n

Mr Ssenteza, who was one of the personal bodyguards of the party leader, Mr Robert Mr Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine died on December 28 last year at Rubaga Hospital where he had been rushed after he was reportedly run over by a truck at Busega roundabout on the outskirts of Kampala.<\/p>\n

During a memorial mass at Kirowaza Village in Nyendo- Mukungwe Municipality in Masaka City, the deputy parish priest for Kirowaza Catholic Parish, Fr John Mary Mayiga said those who killed Ssenteza will always be haunted by \u201ctheir evil act\u201d because he was innocent and did not deserve to die in that manner.<\/p>\n

\u201cPraying for the dead is a good act because it shows love and belief that there is a life after death. I ask all NUP supporters to reflect on what Ssenteza believed in and should emulate him,\u201d the priest said.<\/p>\n

He said Ssenteza\u2019s memorial mass happened at a time when the Church is also commemorating the massacre of the innocent souls on orders of Herod the Great, king of Judea that left many male children dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is surprising that people like Herod still exist even in this generation,\u201d Fr Mayiga added.<\/p>\n

Mr Mathias Mpuuga, the Leader of Opposition in Parliament who represented Mr Kyagulanyi at the event said Ssenteza died as a hero because he was in the struggle to bring peace and justice to the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no doubt that Ssenteza died as a hero. This is why we should all get committed to the struggle. The youth in this area should know that age does not matter in the struggle but it is your commitment to get what you want,\u201d Mr Mpuuga said.<\/p>\n

Mr Mpuuga who is also the Nyendo\/ Mukungwe MP said before Ssenteza was killed, he had done a great job during Mr Kyagulanyi\u2019s campaign trail in Rakai District where the party principal\u2019s convoy was shot at by security operatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur party president was saddened to receive a call that Ssentenza had been killed in the process of taking Ashraf Kasirye (a member of NUP press unit) to hospital after he was shot in Masaka while heading to Lwengo during the campaigns,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to assure you that those who killed Ssenteza are known and they will face the law as individuals when we get into power,\u201d Mr Mpuuga vowed.<\/p>\n

He, however, asked NUP leaders at all levels to work for the electorate that entrusted them with power and avoid bickering.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople expect to get good leadership from NUP. Let us understand people\u2019s needs and work on them,\u201d he appealed.<\/p>\n

Ssenteza was fatally injured as Mr Kyagulanyi\u2019s convoy drove journalist Ashraf Kasirye from Masaka to Kampala for further medical attention after he was injured as police dispersed NUP supporters in Masaka City.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s one of the several NUP supporters who died during the presidential poll described by many political activists and commentators as one of the most violent in the history of Uganda.<\/p>\n
