Former Rubaga South Member of Parliament and Dramactor Paul Kato Lubwama has died of a heart attack on Wednesday morning. He was only 52.
The celebrated artist is said to have breathed his last at Stana Medical Centre in Bunamwaya, Wakiso District.
Lubwama served in the 10th parliament before he lost his seat to National Unity Platform’s Aloysious Mukasa in the 2021 general elections.
Lubwama first shot to fame as an actor and playwright in the 1990s. He was the founder of Diamonds Ensemble that is credited, along with a wave of theatre companies, that revived the art-form in Uganda.
As interest in theatre going withered in the 2000s, Lubwama would transition to the nascent FM radio medium, furthering his renown on CBS FM Kalisoliso programme.
