"I Regret My Actions Deeply" – Lusswa Luwemba Apologizes for His Actions at Ssegirinya’s Grave

Lusswa Luwemba, a Ugandan local leader, has publicly apologized for his actions at the grave of the late Muhammad Ssegirinya.

His statement comes after days of public debate over the incident, which many described as disrespectful.

“I deeply regret my actions at the grave of the late Ssegirinya,” Luwemba said.

“I acted out of impulse, and I now realize the pain it caused to the family, friends, and the community at large. I ask for forgiveness from everyone I offended.”

Although he did not specify what he did, reports indicate that his behavior during the burial ceremony was inappropriate.

Some witnesses claim that his actions disrupted the solemn event, leaving mourners shocked and angered.

The controversy has since sparked discussions on the importance of respect during funerals and how public figures should conduct themselves in moments of grief.

Ssegirinya, a well-known politician and advocate for social justice, passed away suddenly, leaving many in mourning.

His funeral drew large crowds, a testament to the love and admiration people had for him.

Many Ugandans saw him as a champion for the poor and a leader who fought for justice and equality.

His death was a great loss to the nation, and emotions were already high during the burial.

Luwemba acknowledged Ssegirinya’s legacy and promised to honor his work.

“I will work to ensure that the values he stood for justice, equality, and service to the people—are upheld,” he added.

Despite his apology, the family of the late politician has not yet responded to his statement. It remains unclear whether they will accept his words or demand further action.

Meanwhile, local leaders have urged the community to remain calm and focus on remembering Ssegirinya’s contributions to society.

Public reactions to Luwemba’s apology have been mixed.

Some believe that his regret is genuine and that he should be forgiven, while others argue that he must take further steps to make amends.

“An apology is not enough,” one mourner said. “He should show true remorse through his actions.”
