The deputy director of the Internal Security Organisation, Taban Amin, one of the elder sons of the former president, told journalists that the Ugandan government worked with the Embassy in Cairo to help return the body of his brother Mwanga.

Born in May 1972, Mwanga is said to be one of the younger sons born to Amin and Madiina Najjemba.

It is said that Mwanga’s mother, Najjemba named her son after Kabaka Mwanga II of Buganda, who played a key role in the fight against the colonial leadership.

Mwanga and Moses Amin are said to be the two young sons of the former president with whom he occasionally moved with.

In 1979, Amin was overthrown by a combination of the Tanzanian Army and Ugandan rebels under the Uganda National Liberation Front (UNLF). He was exiled to Saudi Arabia, where he later died.

Mwanga, who was taken out of Uganda when his father was overthrown, also attended to the former President when he died in 2003 at King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Saudi Arabia.

On Friday, May 21, Sadiki Amin Agele, Amin’s grandson, was sworn in as the mayor of Busia municipal council.

Agele was sworn in at Busia Border Primary School in Busia town on Friday, May 21, at a ceremony where division chairpersons and councillors at the division took their oath of office.

“We need to unite and work together as division chairpersons and councillors. Councillors should base their focus on local revenue,” said Busia Town Clerk Vincent Okurut during the swearing-in ceremony.
