Convicted city lawyer Bob Kasango has died in prison due to heart-related complications, Prisons spokesperson Frank Baine has said. He passed away in Luzira prison on Saturday evening.
The flamboyant Kasango has been in prison on a journey of serving a 16-year sentence handed to him in 2018 by the Anti-Corruption court judge Margaret Tibulya for theft of Shs 15.4 billion meant for pensioners.
Kasango appealed the sentence, and the Court of Appeal justices led by Catherine Bamugemereire were yet to decide on his application. Kasango unsuccessfully applied for bail twice in the Court of Appeal.
