The Resident District Commissioner (RDC) of Zombo District in the West Nile region Rt Lt Col Pius Alitema has died today Friday 08th March 2024 enroute to Arua Regional Referral Hospital.
The news was confirmed to our correspondent by the Zombo LV Chairperson James Oruna Oyulu saying “It has just happened, it’s quite unfortunate”.
The cause of his death is still unclear. Alitema replaced RDC Kanjoyingi in 2022, and he has been applauded for handling land disputes and other corruption related issues by the Zombo residents.
Lt Col Pius Alitamena now becomes the Second Museveni RDC to die in a space of just one month after Hoima Deputy RCC Hajjat Stella Nanyanzi who succumbed to Diabetes at Mulago Hospital last month.
Alitema also becomes the fifth Museveni RDC to die in a period of just three years after Joseph Sekasamba who was Deputy RDC of Kitagwenda District (died on 20th January 2023), Nsereko Mutumba who was RDC Kayunga District (Died on 3rd August 2022) and Balasa Ogajjo who was RDC Namayingo District (died on 17th August 2022).
REST WELL LT COL PIUS ALITEMA
