Various leaders,christians and politicians including the Lord Mayor Lukwago flocked the church to pay their respects.
However, Lukwago, who was seated in the VIP section suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground.
2 men shiftly lifted Lukwago and evacuated him through the door linking to the priest’s residence

It should however be remembered that Lukwago has been recovering from a health condition he suffered last year.
Lukwago Suddenly Collapses
In November 2020,the lord mayor was sent to Nairobi after suffering a life threatening condition called acute anaphylaxis, an allergic reaction.
He received treatment for his condition at the Aga Khan hospital. Lukwago spent close to 2 weeks bedridden at the Nairobi hospital before he finally returned.
Acute anaphylaxis, an allergic reaction that causes the immune system to overreact to the allergen by releasing chemical and cause one to go to shock, experience a drop in blood pressure and blockage in breath.
It is often triggered by allergy to some foods, insects, stings or even medicine
