A few days back, he was among the key speakers at strengthening the TB response through the multi-stakeholders conference at Collin Hotel Mukono, where he revealed that he was previously living in denial about the disease. Even when he got Tuberculosis, MC Kats said he still didn’t come to terms with the fact that he was suffering from HIV.
“One of the first signs that I had HIV was TB but I first didn’t realize it. I went and bought cough syrup but it didn’t help. I started sweating all the time and then would get on and off fever but the weight loss was what forced me to call my mom who advised me to check up. I was told I was sick but I said no. I’m too cool and good to fall sick. I can’t be sick. I was given TB medication which I was supposed to take for six months. I took it for less than two months,” he said during the conference.
Meanwhile, this website understands that NBS bosses have already identified budding and multitalented TV personality, Crysto Panda as his replacement.
Apparently, Crysto Panda and the bosses have already finalized the deal, which will see him join the Next Media conglomerate. The deal was signed and sealed this week on Tuesday.
