The retired archbishop died on Friday from Kampala hospital after succumbing to pneumonia, having undergone successful treatment for cancer in the UK early last year.

Government has said former Archbishop Livingstone Mpalanyi Nkoyoyo will be accorded an official burial

The minister for presidency Esther Mbayo said that President Museveni had directed that the retired archbishop be accorded an official burial.

 

"We had a meeting with family members, clergy and others this morning to agree on the burial arrangements," she said.

 

The Buganda Kingdom Premier Charles Peter Mayiga also visited the fallen Archbishop's family to pay his respects, and during his visit, Mayiga urged leaders to work for the progress of their subjects and this will translate into the love they say they have for the subjects.

 

 The minister for the Presidency Esther Mbayo was among those at the home in Mukono.

There will be a funeral service for Nkoyooyo on Sunday and he will be buried at Namugongo Shrine on Tuesday.
