According to the program announced by National Unity Platform President Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, alias Bobi-Wine, at Rubaga Hospital, the party will pay their last respects to Ssegirinya at the party headquarters at Makerere Kavuule, where an overnight vigil will be held
Ssegirinya’s body will be taken to Parliament on Friday followed by prayers at Mbogo-Kawempe Mosque
He will be laid to rest on Sunday in Masaka
The Leader of Opposition Joel Ssenyonyi, described Ssegirinya as a practical leader who added velour to the world of politics

Kampala Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago said Ssegirinya’s death will be blamed on the government for repeatedly denying him medical attention while he was in Prison
