His family has been informed.
Government has set up a task force, led by Defence
Minister, Hon Dr Crispus Kiyonga, to coordinate all matters relating to
this tragedy. A team of doctors--pathologists—is also being sent to
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to assist with the post-mortem and the
repatriation of the body.
We will keep the country informed of any further
details. General Aronda Nyakairima, who also served the country as Chief
of Defence Forces, was a dedicated servant of the people of Uganda and
his death is a tragic and huge loss to the country.
We extend our deep condolences to the family and
friends of General Aronda during this most trying period, and pray that
the Almighty God comforts them."
