The State Minister for Labour Rtd. Col. Charles Okello Engola has on Tuesday Morning been shot dead by his bodyguard yet to be identified in Kyanja, Kampala suburbs.
The UPDF bodyguard who reportedly first roamed in the neighborhood shooting in the air after killing his principle also turned the gun onto himself shooting himself dead.
Speaker of Parliament Anita Among confirmed the incident to the house that was sitting today.
Initial reports indicate that Charles Okello Engola was stepping out of his home, heading to work when one of his bodyguards shot him dead.
Witnesses claim that the soldier was yelling that he had not been paid for a long time despite working for a minister.
Several government heads, including army and police, have descended on Engola’s home. Security minister Jim Muhwezi is among those who have already converged at the home.
Engola’s last public appearance was in Namutumba district to mark International Labour Day on May 1.
