NUP MP Ssegirinya’s Health Deteriorates: Bobi Wine Calls for Prayers

Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine and the leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP), and former Presidential Candidate, has appealed to all Ugandans to keep Kawempe North Member of Parliament Hon. Muhammad Ssegirinya in their thoughts and prayers as the health of the first-time legislator has worsened in recent days.

MP Ssegirinya has faced health challenges and has been in and out of the hospital in recent months, following his release from prison where he, along with his colleague MP Ssewanyana from Makindye West, spent nearly two years on charges linked to killings in the Masaka subregion.

Appearing frail and slim at the launch of the NUP headquarters at Makerere Kavule, the Kawempe North MP’s condition has raised concerns. Bobi Wine, expressing his concern, has called on Ugandans to send prayers for Ssegirinya.

“Wishing our brother Hon. Ssegirinya Muhammad a quick and full recovery. When he came to see me at the office a few weeks back, I could see he had lost a lot of weight. He told me that his health has been deteriorating since he came out of prison, where he spent close to two years. As the medical team does its best to provide him with the necessary care, let us also continue to pray for him,” said Bobi Wine.
