Kyanjo passed on Saturday morning at Kibuli Hospital, according to family sources. The former legislator has been a long illness.
KAMPALA – The former Member of Parliament for Makindye West in Kampala Hussein Kyanjo has died.
The former vocal legislator passed on on Saturday, July 22, 2023, at Kibuli Hospital in Kampala.
Kyanjo’s health troubles started in 2011 during a parliament trip to South Africa. He said that two days into the trip, he realized he was having difficulty speaking.
He said that on checking with the doctors, he was diagnosed with dystonia, a disease caused by either effects of accidents or poison. It can also be hereditary.
Wikipedia defines dystonia as a movement disorder in which a person’s muscles contract uncontrollably. The contraction causes the affected body part to twist involuntarily, resulting in repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Dystonia can affect one muscle, a group of muscles, or the entire body. The disease can be hereditary or caused by other factors such as physical trauma or poisoning.
Kyanjo has in the past ruled out the disease being hereditary or having had an accident, leaving poisoning as the only possibility.
