“Our brother met his death in an accident. So, let us avoid speculation and come to terms with his demise,” Dr Muvawala said.

The Kyabazinga, who is traditionally barred from attending burials, briefly came out of the Budhumbula Palace shortly after his brother’s burial.

President Yoweri Museveni, who was represented by Karamoja Affairs minister, Mr Moses Kizige, asked road users to be careful.

He commended the Kyabazinga for promoting education and other government programmes in the region.

“The Kyabazinga is an inspiration to young leaders and he is passionate about children, education and development.  He had procured an internship placement for the deceased in Germany,” Mr Museveni said.
