KAMPALA- President Museveni has revealed that Sarah Mateke, the former Minister of State for Defence was slated to travel to South Korea, for the same Security Conference that former Internal Affairs Minister, Aronda Nyakairima was returning from, when he died on 12th September 2015.
The President made the revelation while addressing mourners at Parliament, where he had gone to pay his respect to Mateke, saying that it was good she didn’t get onto the plane just as Aronda had done, stressing that if had he known about Aronda’s medical condition, he would have blocked his travel.
Cue in………..Museveni on Aronda
The President urged all NRM cadres and Ugandans to take good care of their live by conducting medical checkups noting that Mateke had also gone to conduct some checkups ahead of her travel, but it was already.
He added that although as fighters there are lives that are lost, but there is need to avoid some losses due to the gaps created when the fighters die.

In his tribute, President Museveni described Mateke as a calm and good person who managed to maneuver the difficult politics of Kisoro district without creating enemies, which explains why most people have only spoken good things about her.
