Announcing the sad news on his X, Akiiki said, “It’s hard to accept this new loss so soon after the death of Minister of State for Defense, Hon. Sarah Mateke. Brig Gen (rtd) Kyambadde and Brig Gen Fred Twinamasiko have both been lost in this tragic accident. It’s incredibly difficult to come to terms with.”
He offered his condolences and support to the bereaved families, stating, “May the Lord give strength to their families during this challenging time. MHSRP.”
