Former Lands Commission Boss Albert Mugumya Is Dead

Former under Secretary Ministry of Health, ICT Ministry and Uganda Land commission Jethro Albert Mugumya is dead.

We’ve learnt that Jethro (68 years) succumbed to an illness he suffered two weeks ago, and suspected to be COVID-19.

According to close relatives, his personal doctor attended to him at home and he received home-based treatment until Thursday when his health condition deteriorated.

They added that the deceased has underlying health conditions including diabetes and hypertension. His blood sugar reportedly became unstable and on Sunday mid afternoon, his condition worsened. He breathed his last yesterday as he was being rushed to hospital.

In the last 10 years the effects of the disease had immobilized him in many ways and sometimes he would not work. At one point when he had to appear before the Bamugeriere Land Commission, the commission ensured there was a doctor present during his hearing.

Hailing from Nyaburiza Ruhaama, Ntungamo District, Jethro attended school in Ntare School and after his masters studies, he joined the civil service where he worked to the time when he retired about a year and half ago.

He notably was the Under Secretary at the Ministry of Health in the early and mid 2000’s when Hon Jim Muhwezi was Health Minister as well as Mike Mukula.

He was one of those who were exonerated of wrongdoing in the Gavi fund scandals.

He later moved to Ministry of ICT when it was formed and served as Under Secretary under Minsiter of ICT Hon Aggrey Awori. Finally, he moved to the Uganda Land Commission where he worked till he retired.

He is survived by a wife and 3 children- 2 girls and a boy.

His wife Charity Balaba Mugumya is a director in Bank of Uganda.
