A sister to Alex Kayanja Ssekandi, son of former Vice President, Edward Ssekandi who died last week has revealed the cause of her brother’s death.
Speaking to mourners on Sunday, 15th October, 2023 during the final send off of her brother, Phiona Ssekandi said, their brother died of excessive consumption of alcohol.
“It will be a disservice to if we don’t tell the truth that alcoholism is bad to help young people avoid it,” she said before adding that, “Our brother got addicted and we endeavored to fight it but we failed until it affected various vital organs that resulted in his death.”
Phiona said Kayanya’s kidneys failed and later the liver and pancreas and the body could no longer respond to medication.
Alex Kayanja Ssekandi aged 39 passed away on Thursday last week from Lubaga Hospital where he had been admitted for two weeks.
