Bobi Wine said: Today, we attended the vigil of a fallen comrade, Sonko Kimbowa who passed on last night. The cause of his death is not yet known. He became very weak yesterday evening, and by the time they took him to hospital, he couldn’t make it. I am grateful to all leaders and comrades who are standing with his family in this difficult time.
I used the occasion to thank this brother for his service to his country. He has been such a devoted comrade, who participated in most activities for the struggle. He so much desired to see a #NewUganda and it is very sad he passed on without seeing it. The duty for those who remain is to work very hard to see that the dreams for which he worked so hard come to pass. May his soul rest in peace.
President Museveni: My advice is that you should always avoid evil. Believe in God, and God will reward you.
Tumwine was a resilient man. He was injured badly but continued with us even up today. The young people should learn from that spirit of patriotism.
Dying at 68, Gen. Tumwine was still young but had achieved a lot. I am very happy to hear that he died a satisfied man.
