Dr Baryomunsi who doubles is also Kinkiizi East fainted in Kanungu around 6 pm while on his way from Ruhija in Muramba parish, Rutenga Sub County where he had donated iron sheets to the Church of Uganda’s Kyakikyere church.

His collapse was confirmed by Mr. Godfrey Karabenda, the Kanungu District National Resistance Movement (NRM) party chairman.

Mr. Karabenda said that Dr. Baryomunsi fainted while on his way rushing to Kambuga Sub County where he was set to preside over another function and this must have happened due to fatigue.

He said that when the other occupants in the vehicle realized that Dr Baryomunsi had fainted, they rushed him to Kambuga hospital for treatment where medics led by one only identified as Dr. Adas examined and reportedly found him hypertensive.

At around 10:30 pm, he was airlifted from Kambuga hospital to Kampala for specialized treatment. By press time, we could not ascertain the condition of the NRM Vice chairperson Western Region.
