Ssegirinya, who arrived at Entebbe International Airport on Tuesday was received by a group of his supporters who were waiting with an ambulance.
Ssegirinya said he was feeling much better, adding that doctors advised him to go back to the hospital next month for further management. He accused parliament of neglecting him while at the mentioned hospital.
“I’m feeling somehow okay though I’m still weak,” Ssegirinya said, adding that “My party is not supposed to pay my medical bills, it is parliament, according to the constitution.”
He has also stated that when he dies National Unity Platform (NUP) Deputy Spokesperson Waiswa Mufumbiro should not attend his funeral
“I was hurt to see the NUP Deputy Spokesperson Waiswa saying that I was faking sickness. I was fighting for my life and someone comes up with such a statement it hurt me and when I die, Waiswa should not attend my funeral.” I know I will die first basing on what the doctors have told me but Waiswa is not allowed at my funeral even if he apologizes.”
Meanwhile, the legislator says parliament was forced to clear his medical bills following what he termed as pressure from his party, the National Unity Platform (NUP).
Ssegirinya, who missed NUP’s “Wake Up Uganda” countrywide tour vowed to receive his party members led by their president Robert Kyagulanyi in Kawempe North in two weeks’ time.
Despite the police ban, NUP’s top leadership has vowed to resume the tours, starting with Kampala next month.
