KAMPALA-UGANDA/NEWSDAY: The family of the late Bulaimu Muwanga Kibirige aka BMK have said the late businessman was supposed to die in 2017.

“When he was diagnosed with grade II cancer in 2015, he was notified he would die in two years. That he has lived on until 2021, is a miracle and a sign God loved him,” one of the children said addressing mourners.

BMK died early on Friday from Agakhan Hospital in Kenya where he had been receiving medication. He was buried on Sunday at Nkoowe cemetery which he himself launched for the Muslim community.
