The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Rt Hon Thomas Tayebwa, on Tuesday morning joined mourners at a requiem mass held for the late Timothy Muganzi Magambo, son of the Director of the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), Uganda Police Force Criminal Investigations Directorate Director Tom Magambo.
The solemn service took place at Our Lady of Africa Catholic Church in Mbuya, Kampala, where family members, friends, government officials, and members of the public gathered to pay their final respects.
Timothy Magambo tragically passed away last week in New York after drowning while swimming with friends, a sudden loss that has left the family and wider community in shock and mourning.
Speaking at the requiem mass, Deputy Speaker Tayebwa conveyed heartfelt condolences on behalf of his family, the Parliament of Uganda, and the Government of Uganda.
“On behalf of my family, Parliament and the Government of Uganda, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family, relatives, friends and all those grieving Timothy’s passing,” Tayebwa said.
The Deputy Speaker described the loss as deeply painful and urged the bereaved family to find strength in faith and unity during this difficult time.
The requiem mass drew several dignitaries, including members of Parliament, senior security officials, and representatives from government institutions, all coming together in solidarity with the Magambo family.
The late Timothy Magambo’s passing has prompted an outpouring of sympathy from across the country, as colleagues and acquaintances remember him as a young life cut tragically short.
