Kyankwanzi District | THE BLACK EXAMINER | Rev. Fr. Lawrence Yawe Mudduse, a Catholic priest affiliated with Kiyinda-Mityana Diocese, has tragically lost his life in a car accident on the Kampala-Hoima Road in Kyankwanzi District. The Black Examiner has learnt.

The collision occurred at Kabagaya Village in Butemba Sub County on Sunday evening when the priest’s Suzuki car collided head-on with a commuter taxi.

According to Racheal Kawala, the Wamala region police spokesperson, the incident occurred around 07:30 pm.

Fr. Mudduse was initially rushed to Kiboga Hospital in critical condition and, unfortunately, succumbed to his injuries during the transfer to Nsambya Hospital in Kampala later that night.

At the time of the accident, Rev. Fr. Mudduse was reportedly en route to Lwebisiriza Catholic Parish in Kyankwanzi District, where he served as the parish priest.

Following the tragedy, Rev. Fr. Stephen Lusiba, the Kiyinda-Mityana Catholic parish priest, expressed their grief, stating, “We have lost a great preacher and researcher. He [the deceased] has been a resourceful person and always delivers humorous sermons punctuated with examples that make it easy for anyone to understand.”

In August 2019, Fr. Mudduse, along with six others, faced charges related to the murder of a 50-year-old landlord, Muhammad Kamada Kimbugwe. The victim was killed while distributing letters to tenants on his disputed one-square-mile piece of land in Minaana Village, Tamu Division, Mityana Municipality. Fr. Mudduse, accused of financing the assailants responsible for the murder, spent 18 days in Luzira Prison before being granted bail.

Before his assignment to Lwebisiriza Catholic Parish, Fr. Mudduse served in Mubende and also served as a tutor at St. Paul’s National Major Seminary – Kinyamasika in Fort Portal for an extended period.
