Parliament has announced that it will issue a statement soon on the exact cause of death of the Pallisa District woman MP Faith Alupo who passed on Tuesday morning at Mulago Hospital.

Hellen Kawesa the Spokesperson of Parliament says the cause of death is still being investigated.

However, rumors we are yet to substantiate going viral indicate that the deceased could have succumbed to COVID-19.

Alupo vibrantly participated in the NRM party primaries for the Pallisa parliamentary seat but lost to Kevin Kaala Ojinga.

Jacob Opolot the Pallisa County MP says her death comes as a shock since she hasn’t been sick.

Alupo entered the August house in June 2018.
