The Parliament of Uganda will hold a special sitting in honour of Pallisa District Woman MP, late Hon. Faith Alupo on Tuesday, 22 September 2020.
The communication follows the appointment of a committee chaired by Hon Francis Mwijukye to work out the funeral programme details with Hon. Alupo’s family.
The late Hon. Faith Alupo passed away on Tuesday 15th September 2020 at Mulago Hospital.
Alupo died aged 37 and she breathed her last from Mulago Hospital where she was receiving treatment.
According to the family, she was receiving treatment for blood pressure and diabetes during her admission at Mulago Hospital.
Alupo joined Parliament in June 2018 through a by-election where she replaced Ms Agnes Amede who remained in the newly created Butebo District after it was cut from Pallisa.
The legislator’s death was first confirmed by Parliament.
“Parliament has learnt with sorrow of the untimely death of Hon Faith Alupo, Woman MP for Pallisa District which occurred at Mulago Hospital. May her soul rest in eternal peace,” Parliament confirmed through a tweet.
Alupo had participated in the just concluded NRM parliamentary primaries where she lost to Ms Kevin Kaala.
