Al Hajji Nasser Ssebagala also known as Seya had been admitted to International Hospital Kampala (IHK) days ago with stomach complications. Preliminary results later showed that he had Intussusception.
Intussusception is a medical condition where one segment of intestine “telescopes” inside of another, causing an intestinal obstruction (blockage). This condition can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract. But, it usually occurs at the junction of the small and large intestines. This complication is very common in infants.
The main symptom of this complication is severe, crampy abdominal pain alternating with periods of no pain. Painful episodes may last 10 to 15 minutes or longer. Followed by periods of 20 to 30 minutes of no pain, after which the pain returns. After symptoms have been present for a while, some children may become lethargic (feel very tired). Small children may draw their knees up to their chest during the episodes of pain.
Ssebagala had earlier reported having stomach pains. This prompted his family to take him for a medical check-up at International Hospital Kampala(IHK). His condition deteriorated suddenly and he was pronounced dead early this morning. His younger brother Latif Ssebagala is the current Kawempe North Member of Parliament.
Ssebagala’s 2021 Dream
Before his death, Nasser Ssebagala had expressed interest in contesting for Kampala Lord Mayoral seat in the 2021 general election.
While at the Kamwokya based People Power secretariat earlier this year, Sebaggala told journalists that he had great trust in the leader of the People Power pressure group. He claimed to have groomed and trained Bobi Wine in politics.
The seasoned politician came to the limelight in the late 90s’ when he won the race for the mayor of Kampala. This was after beating Wasswa Biriggwa and incumbent Christopher Yiga. However, he did not complete his term of office after his arrest in the United States of America.
They leveled charges of making false statements, bank fraud, and transporting altered securities against him.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
