President Museveni’s state minister for Agriculture, Dr. Israel Kibirige Ssebunya, died yesterday at 7:15 AM after a long battle with tongue and throat cancer. Ssebunya was 62 years old. Dr. Sebunya was rushed to Mulago hospital last week on instructions from Uganda vice president, Dr. Gilbert Bukenya. Earlier, Dr. Bukenya had visited Ssebunya in Kagoma and found his condition very bad. He is survived by a wife, Theresa Namatovu, who teaches in Botswana, and six children.
