KAMPALA.
The ex- Rubanda West County Member of Parliament, Eng. Denis Sabiiti Bamwoya, has passed away .
He was aged 60.
Mr Franckline Tumuhumuza Bonde, a relative of the deceased , said Sabiiti breathed his last at around 8:00 pm on Monday at his residence in Entebbe Municipality .
He had been battling cancer and was discharged from hospital earlier this year.
“Two weeks ago, he went for a check-up and seemed to be doing well. I suspect the side effects of the medication may have contributed to his sudden death,” said Mr Tumuhumuza.
Sabiiti had reportedly completed his cancer treatment and was attending routine follow-up appointments when his condition deteriorated unexpectedly.
The news came just hours after Rubanda District also lost another prominent figure—retired Supreme Court judge Prof. George Wilson Kanyeihamba, who died Monday morning at Nakasero Hospital in Kampala.
A native of Bufundi Sub-county in Rubanda West, Eng.Sabiiti served one term in Parliament after defeating former State Minister for Economic Monitoring, Henry Banyenzaki, in the 2016 general elections.
He represented the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) and was known for his calm demeanor and expertise in infrastructure development.
Before entering elective politics, Sabiiti held a senior position at the Ministry of Works and Transport, serving as Commissioner in charge of transport regulation.
He lost his parliamentary seat in 2021 to independent candidate Moses Kamuntu Mwongyera, marking the end of his active political career.Ex- MP Sabiiti dies at 60
