Businessman James Garuga Musinguzi has died. Kate Baryayanga, a relative, told URN reporter that Garuga died on Wednesday at Nakasero Hospital.
The relative said that the family were planning to take him abroad for specialised treatment.
Musinguzi was a founding member and major funder of the Forum for the Democratic Change-FDC.
In 2001, he contested for the Kinkiizi West county MP seat but lost to Amama Mbabazi. Musinguzi petitioned the court and sought a re-run of the election.
The results were then nullified, and a re-run was ordered, but Garuga instead pulled, and Mbabazi went through unopposed.
At the time of his death, Garuga was the proprietor of Kigezi Highland Tea Company-URN. Give us feedback on this story through our email: kamwokyatimes@gmail.com
