Uganda’s ambassador to Kenya and Seychelles, Dr. Hassan Galiwango has died. He died this morning at the Nairobi Hospital in Kenya.

Reports indicate that Dr. Galiwango has been ill for a while. Last week, he was airlifted to Nairobi Hospital in critical condition.

Dr Galiwango was appointed High Commissioner in October 2020 to replace Phibby Otaala, who had left office to contest for a political seat back home. However, Ms Otaala protested his appointment and declined to hand over the post, arguing that she had not been recalled.

Dr Galiwango later presented his credentials to then president Uhuru Kenyatta on March 3, 2021.

Before his appointment as High Commissioner, Dr Galiwango had been a long-serving director of finance and administration at The National Resistance Movement (NRM) secretariat.

Dr. Galilwango worked as a party mobilizer and director of finance and administration for the National Resistance Movement until 2021, when President Museveni appointed him Uganda’s ambassador to Kenya and Seychelles, succeeding Phibby Otaala.

 

Dr. Galilwango is also the husband of Mbale City Woman Member of Parliament, Hon. Connie Galiwango Kanakayenze.

Condolences began pouring in with Ugandans on Twitter eulogising him as a “committed officer”, who gave his best at work to ensure the rights and welfare of Ugandans are upheld.
