Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Lyantonde District are investigating circumstances under which former Rakai District chairperson Mr Emmanuel Kamunana reportedly shot himself dead.<\/p>\n

Preliminary police findings show that the incident happened on May 7 at around 5am at his home in Nsiika Village,Buyanga Parish, Mpumudde Sub county in Lyantonde District.<\/p>\n

According to the southern regional police spokesperson, Mr Muhammad Nsubunga, the deceased had a legally acquired pistol and police have already recovered it from the crime scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wife told our detectives that Mr Kamunana had a long illness which could have led to depression. He woke up at 5am and went to the sitting room where he shot himself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Nsubunga said Kamunana was rushed to Lyantonde General Hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.<\/p>\n

Among other things, he was a prominent livestock farmer in Mpumudde County and a founding member of the Kabula Farmers\u2019 Cooperative Society.<\/p>\n

The late Kamunana joined politics as a councillor for Mpumudde Sub County before Lyantonde District was carved out of Rakai District.<\/p>\n

Between 1992 and 1994 he became the Rakai District vice chairperson under the leadership of Muwanga Kamagu and when his boss died, he took over as acting chairperson from 1994-1998 when Joseph Mulindwa Mukasa took over.<\/p>\n
