A family member told this reporter on condition of anonymity that Mr Mulenga fainted and slid in a bathroom on Wednesday while at home in Ihimbi cell, Northern division, Kabale municipality and got injured.
The family member added that though Mr Mulenga was admitted at Muhunde clinic in Kabale town, he failed to show any signs of improvement.
The Kabale Resident District Commissioner, Mr Darias Nandiinda said that Mr Mulenga was airlifted in a UPDF chopper because he was in a bad condition that could have been difficult for him to travel by road.
