A source in government who preferred not to be named told this digital newspaper at the weekend that “President Museveni valued Dr. Ebuk for his diplomatic and medical expertise”, adding that the deceased will be dearly missed.
“The president is already aware of his death,” added the source. “Will the president go for his burial?” we asked, and this was the reply: “I’m not sure. Most likely, the Vice President Jessica Alupo will represent the President.”
An attempt to reach the office of the Vice President for confirmation has been unsuccessful.
Since Ebuk’s death three days ago, the President is yet to convey his condolences publicly [via his official social media handles] – like has been the case with other prominent Ugandans after dying.
