Joseph Ssentongo, the husband of the late Kyotera Woman MP Robina Nakasirye and her younger sister Dorothy Mukasa have too succumbed to Covid-19 disease.
The two died on Tuesday, a week after the burial of Nakasirye who also succumbed to the virus. Tom Darlington Balojja, a friend to the deceased's family confirms that the duo also fell sick shortly after the death of Nakasirye, and their conditions continued deteriorating until Tuesday.
According to Balojja, the victims were identified as primary contacts of Nakasirye. He adds that the close family relatives have now been advised to seek medical testing for the virus to prevent more incidents.
Meanwhile, all family members and close supporters of the former Woman MP Freda Nanziri Kase Mubanda have been instructed to go for self-isolation over scares of possible contraction of Covid-19.
Mubanda died at the Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi where she was rushed in critical condition after she fell ill mid this month.
Mudashiiru Bbaale, the Kyesiiga sub-county speaker who was the official campaign agent for Mubanda reveals that at least 20 people who came into close contact with the deceased, including her political successor Edith Namugabe Kulabako, are undergoing self-isolation in their respective homes where they are being closely monitored by medics.
