The head of National Unity Platform (NUP) party legal department, Anthony Wameli was yesterday Saturday hospitalized at St. Anthony medical center in Kasangati, Wakiso district due to stomach related complications.
His wife, Olive Wameli told URN on phone that her husband was rushed to hospital in bad shape.
"We had feared because he was badly off……He was doing badly. His condition isn't good. That's why I have picked his mobile phone," said Olive.
According to Olive, her husband is currently unable to talk. Wameli's closest friend, Geoffrey Turyamusiima said that the human rights lawyer has been battling severe peptic ulcers over the past weeks, which he says could have worsened. He said that they are preparing to transfer Wameli to Kampala for further management.
Wameli was last seen on Friday at the NUP offices in Kamokya where the party was announcing new leaders for various positions in parliament.
On Monday, the lawyer also appeared at the General Court Martial where he was representing 36 NUP supporters who were arrested from Kalangala District during the campaigns of their party president, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu.
