Former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago transferred to Mulago Hospital for treatment under military guard.
Former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago was transferred to Mulago Specialized Hospital on June 25, 2026, following a direct court directive aimed at managing his deteriorating health while in custody.
The Makindye Chief Magistrate's Court ordered the Uganda Prisons Service to shift Lukwago from Luzira Prison (Murchison Bay) to Mulago National Referral Hospital for urgent attention.
The court denied him bail, citing ongoing investigations and his significant public influence as a leader. He is currently facing charges of misprision of treason.
The court allowed military restricted access only to his wife, designated lawyers, and his medical team.
