President Museveni’s condolence message was delivered on Tuesday during Kagawa’s funeral in Bukanha Village by Jimmy Nambiro, the Private Secretary in charge of Education and Skilling. Official statements indicate that Museveni described the deceased as a true nationalist and patriot whose untimely passing represents a significant loss to his family, Luuka District, and the wider Busoga region.
In his message, the President used the platform to raise critical concerns regarding nationwide road safety. Museveni noted that while the government has heavily invested in paving new infrastructure across the country, growing indiscipline among motorists remains a severe challenge. He emphasized that strict speed regulations should have protected the mayor in urban areas like Iganga Town, stating that driver behavior is now becoming a major concern for the government.
Busoga regional and local leaders also paid tribute to Kagawa during the burial ceremony. Reports indicate that Stephen Kisa Bakubalwayo, the Member of Parliament for Luuka South and district NRM Chairperson, praised Kagawa as a highly committed party member with outstanding mobilization skills.
Meanwhile, family representatives, including Kagawa’s brother Kifamulusi Isabirye, thanked the government for its solidarity but publicly appealed to leaders not to abandon the young family left behind. Reports suggest that local authorities are continuing to investigate the specific circumstances surrounding the crash, amid broader public concerns over rising road fatalities in the region https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1F3dGbXKkL/
