Museveni’s Aunt, Kaaka Jiresi Keminagano, Dies at 97

President Yoweri Museveni has lost his paternal aunt Jiresi Keminagano who was 97 years old.

She died last night at Nakasero State House.

“I regret to announce the death of one of my paternal aunts (tatenkazi), Kaaka Jiresi Keminagano (97).  She died at 8pm last night at Nakasero from conditions related to old age and long-time immobility in a wheelchair. She will be buried at Rwakitura, tomorrow,” the President announced.

Due to Covid-19, Museveni said a few people have been requested to conduct her last funeral rites in observance of health guidelines.

“Only very few people have been requested to conduct the burial in accordance with the COVID-19 regulations. The relatives,  acquaintances, and friends, are requested not to try and congregate at the burial because it is dangerous and has no value addition.”

A video recording of the burial will be done and shared with all concerned.

“We praise the Lord Almighty for her long life. May her soul rest in eternal peace.  This is to inform all relatives, friends, acquaintances, and the NRM fraternity.”

May her soul rest in peace.
