Speaking
to Uganda Radio Network-URN this evening, Mayambala said he has been at Mukono regional
hospital but the testing could not find malaria that he suspected, but the
doctors informed him that the problem is as a result of Fatigue.
“I have received a few medications. You know our
hospitals have no drugs, the doctors told me to buy other drugs which is
unfortunate," Mayambala told URN. "I am still not feeling well and am having a headache but I have
got some drugs and hope my condition will improve.”
He apologizes
to his many supporters in all areas he has missed campaigning. Mayambala was supposed
to campaign in Lira district on Wednesday which is likely not to happen.
//Cue in: “have been sick…
Cue out:…eddagala tewali.”//
Mayambala has severally been failing to turn up
for campaigns due to financial constraints. His Campaign Manager, Karim Jamal,
says the presidential candidate has been facing financial challenges especially
fuel and vehicles which bars him from traversing the area as planned.
