“He will be okay because he has the best medical team beside him,” she said
Nakajumba also urged a section of Ugandans on social media who have been spreading false information about his health and announcing his death to stop.

Hon Ssegirinya was supposed to be sent back to Amsterdam in November last year after he suffered a complication and was rushed to Nsambya Hospital.
His mother Mrs. Justine Nakajumba however, revealed that they could not head back to Europe at the time because the weather there was not favorable to the patient.
