Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Politicians and celebrities have taken to internet to offer their condolences and messages of goodwill to the friends and family of Ex-MP, Kato Lubwama following his demise in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

“It is with great sadness that I received the news of the passing on of Hon. Kato Lubwama. His sense of humour brought life to the 10th Parliament and he built bridges across the political divide. He also leaves a solid legacy in the entertainment world where he spent most of his life. I convey our sympathies to his family, his constituents, friends and all who loved him. May his soul rest in peace,” Speaker Anita Among tweeted.<\/p>\n

The Deputy speaker of Parliament, Thomas Tayebwa, through his official twitter handle eulogized the former Rubaga South MP, describing him as a man who brought life to the 10th Parliament.<\/p>\n

\u201cWoken up to the sad news of Hon. Kato Lubwama’s death. The former MP brought life to the 10th Parliament. He could bring a smile to all of us. He was passionate on seeing the entertainment industry grow and employ as many young people as possible. To him, the political divide in the country was unnecessary. He believed in a more united country with no hard feelings based on political beliefs. I wish to extend my condolences to his family and constituents. Rest in peace brother.\u201d<\/p>\n

The artiste-turned politician was first pronounced dead Wednesday morning by his business associate and events promoter Bajjo, real name Andrew Mukasa, via TikTok, before it was later confirmed through his social media platforms by the page administrator.<\/p>\n

Musician turned politician, Mr Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine said; \u201cThis morning, we woke up to the shocking news of the sudden death of former Lubaga South MP and renowned actor Kato Lubwama ‘Bidugu’. While we sometimes disagreed, I salute his contribution to theatre and the whole entertainment industry. My condolences to his family, friends, fans and fellow artistes. Kitalo!\u201d<\/p>\n

Eddy Kenzo, through his twitter account expressed his feelings;<\/p>\n

\u201cKitalo nyo ekya Hon Kato Lubwama banange, I’m speechless\u201d<\/p>\n

John Ssegawa, an actor, director and producer said; \u201cAn actor and a [theatre] director are both what I would call interpreters of work. We interpret a work, just as a musician will interpret a composer’s work, we interpret the work of a playwright. We are servants of the theatre and I’ve always believed that. We must serve what has been written, that’s what we’re there for.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Lewis Rubongoya<\/b><\/p>\n

Secretary General, National Unity Platform<\/p>\n

\u201cRest in peace, Hon. Kato Lubwama. While you lived, you brought joy and laughter to so many people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maj Gen Jim K Muhwezi, minister of Security-Uganda<\/b><\/p>\n

A very humble, harmless, and humorous soul gone too soon. For many years, Hon. Kato used his God-given art talent to educate the masses about social-behavioral issues May the almighty God rest his soul in eternal peace.<\/p>\n

Joseph Kabuleta<\/b><\/p>\n

Former Presidential Candidate<\/p>\n

\u201cSo saddened to wake up to news of the passing of one of the funniest men I ever met, a born comedian. The first time I met Kato Lubwama, nearly 25 years ago, I was interviewing him about a play. He was making a serious point but I was laughing so hard. I remember thinking to myself that, \u2018if this is how he is when he\u2019s serious, I wonder what he\u2019s like when he means to be funny.\u2019 RIP MY FRIEND\u201d<\/p>\n

Many Ugandans continued Wednesday to eulogise the celebrated comedian and dramatist through their social media platforms.<\/p>\n
