On June 7, 2023, the country was in shock following the untimely death of Kato Lubwama on the route to Stana medical facility in Bunamwaya.

Based on his will, Kato Lubwama stipulated that he ought to be mourned for seven days before being laid off in Nkozi.

Kato Lubwama’s burial plans, however, suffered a serious setback when the Catholic Church adamantly declined to lead the late man’s prayers, claiming he believed in ancestral spirits rather than God.

In contrast to the Catholic Church’s decision, House of Prayer Ministries lead pastor, Aloysius Bugingo, presided over prayers at Kato Lubwama’s funeral.
