News that has been confirmed by Dr. Henry Ddungu from the department of Mulago Cancer Institute reveals the demise of a great city comedian and politics supporter Ssali Paddy alias Paddy Bitama who passed on this morning.
Dr. Ddumba said that the time Bitama was brought to hospital he needed fluids and he did not have enough blood since he had anaemia. Its said that he lost his life to cancer though the Doctor could not reveal any further details.
The journey of the late Paddy Bitama has been so much successful in comedy and partially staggering in politics. As far as comedy is concerned he was the main brains behind Amarula Family comedy group where he teamed up with the then singers Mola Messe aka Bontwe and Amooti Omubaranguzi aka Boogie Woogie to form the semi-defunct Amarula family and the three also worked together at Dembe FM and this project was a registered success. He later joined politics in the opposition group FDC, and was actively involved in the walk to work with Dr. kizza Besigye.
Meanwhile, tributes have been pouring in for the fallen comedian on social media including those of the former Mayor of Kampala, Erias Lukwago.
The country has lost a great comedian and a person who wanted to change the country for better. We shall miss him. May his Soul rest in peace.
