Mama Alice Ogutu, beloved wife to former Leader of Opposition in Parliament Philip Wafula Ogutu is dead.
Alice Ogutu, 61, died last night after battling cancer-related complications for over two years.
This website understands that the deceased was admitted to 3Rivers Cancer Center in Kampala following signs of ever-deteriorating health and is where she breathed her last.
Kampala Sqoop understands that the deceased had battled life-threatening cancer complications for several years.
Last year, she was ferried to India where she was expertly treated for cancer for nearly six months.
Upon her return, a pompous party was organized to celebrate her 60 years of living. Unfortunately, things never seemed to get better as she continued to grow weak.
At the start of this year, the deadly disease appeared to have taken its toll on the once-upon-a-time lively, lovely mother, and wife as she spent most of her time in and out of the hospital.
Before her final hospital admission on Friday from which she wouldn’t get up again, Alice had been confined to the sick bed for weeks though the family was still hopeful she would make it out alive as she had usually done.
Philip Wafula Ogutu, the deceased’s husband is known for his years of expert service in the media industry in the top management of Daily Monitor.
In 2011, he was elected to represent Bukooli Central in the ninth parliament on the endorsement of the opposition outfit FDC. He was later elected leader of Opposition in Parliament, a position he held until 2016.
