Kampala Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago
The Kampala Lord
Mayor, Erias Lukwago has been evacuated from Lubaga Cathedral after collapsing
during the mass to commemorate the life of His Grace Dr. Cyprian Lwanga, the former Archibishop of Kampala Archidiocese.
Lukwago, who was
seated in the area reserved for VIPs, was lifted by two men and evacuated
through the door linking to the priest’s residence shortly after collapsing on
Monday afternoon.
It is still unclear
why Lukwago collapsed. Last year, Lukwago was admitted to Nairobi hospital
after being diagnosed with acute anaphylaxis, an allergic reaction to some
foods, insects, stings and medicine.
This condition cause
the immune system to overreact to the allergen by releasing chemical and cause
one to go to shock, experience a drop in blood pressure and blockage in breath.
