Dr Kipenji,
It seems your Advisory on Nyakirimi's demise, ie to let him rest in
peace, is a bit premature and is therefore being studiously ignored.
Perhaps there is still juice in the story, probably there is more than
meets the eye still afloat and showing no signs of going away.

Aronda's Health Insurance Was Covered – South Korea
By: Sam Waswa
Former UPDF Commander General Aronda Nyakairima who passed away ten
days ago on his way back from South Korea, was covered by health
insurance during his stay, officials said Tuesday, refuting claims he
could not receive proper medical attention.
The deceased Minister of Internal Affairs was found dead on a Flight
Emirates en route to Dubai, by a hostess.
The minister visited South Korea from September 8 to 11 at the
invitation of the Korea Foundation. Following a postmortem
examination, government announced that the cause of death was heart
failure.
However, during the national prayers for the fallen General at Kololo
last week, President Yoweri Museveni blamed South Korea for denying
Aronda proper medical care due to his lack of health insurance even
though he had complained of a stomachache and dizziness.
A South Korean government official today refuted the claim.
"We are in the process of determining the relevant details," he said,
speaking on condition of anonymity. "According to the foundation, the
claim that the minister wished to receive hospital care during his
stay but could not get proper medical attention without health
insurance is different from the truth."
All those who were invited by the foundation, including Aronda, were
covered by traveler's insurance, which includes health insurance, the
official added.
Yesterday another official from the Korean Foundation was quoted by
media as stating that General Aronda complained of stomachache during
his stay but declined to the taken to hospital.
Citing a separate probe by the foundation, the South Korean Embassy in
Uganda has said Aronda took digestive medicine during his stay in
South Korea but turned down an offer to visit a hospital.
The embassy has reportedly delivered its position to the Ugandan
government and requested it to refrain from making any misleading
remarks.
"We are in talks with the Ugandan government over this case," said an
embassy official.
