Hundreds of
mourners are flocking the home of Eria Sebunnya Bugembe aka Kasiwukira
to pay their respects to the fallen tycoon whose death remains a
mystery.
His mother Margaret Nalubwama said she last heard from her son on Thursday when he called and told her that he had said something that had annoyed her during the family meeting. "He told me that he was sorry and I told him that I had forgiven him," Nalubwama said.
Kasiwukira was the 4th born of 11 children; 4 girls 7 boys. His father was Aaron Bugembe of Maya.
The grief-stricken mother narrated to New Vision that on October 9 as the country celebrated her 52nd independence anniversary, Kasiwukira convened a family meeting where he handed all his nephews and nieces their land titles which had been in his custody.
The mother fondly remembers her son as her rock. "He was humble and vital in my life life," she said.
She said he built her a magnificent house in Salaama with ample space which was turned into a night parking yard.
The Kwagalana Club chairperson, Godfrey Kirumira whose bestman was Kasiwukira, said he was doing his routine morning workout at Kabira Country club but his phone was endlessly going off though he did not pick.
He said he was then informed by someone at the Club that Kasiwuukira was dead. He said he had lost a dear friend who always urged them to write wills.
Another member, Gusta Lule said he was called at 7.20am by a neighbour to Kasiwukira, Edward Kalema and told of the shocking news.
He said had known the late for the last 27 years. He remembered him as a God-fearing man who loved to serve his Anglican Church.
He said the late was spearheading a fundraising drive for a church project and they were to meet on November to finalise it.
He noted that Kasiwukira was not a talkative man and always spoke wisely. “I have lost a brother,” he said.
Robert Mulinde remembered the late as an upright man who was rich but not showy; was welcoming and approachable.
“There are so many rich but unapproachable people, unlike him,” he said.
Twaha Sentamu said Kasiwukira made his money from the ‘ordinary people’ but still identified with them.
Local artiste Haruna Mubiru said the late boosted the music industry and was one of the few wealthy people who supported them.
He taught them how to make money through music. He described him as a simple man.
Mourners continue to flock the residence
