Balabanda said Nagenda was a ‘unique, principled and knowledgeable’ person whose services will be dearly missed.
Nagenda, a prolific writer, has been a long-serving columnist with New Vision, the government-owned daily newspaper, the biggest in the country.
In an interview published by the New Vision in 2020, it was revealed that Nagenda, who was born in Rwanda to Ugandan parents on April 25, 1938, had worked for Museveni for over two decades as a public relation advisor.
