The National Unity Platform (NUP) has expressed deep sorrow following the passing of former Busiro South Member of Parliament, Matovu. Leaders and members of the opposition party have joined family and friends in paying tribute to the late politician, remembering his dedication to the party and the people he represented.

Born on April 1, 1985, Matovu built a solid foundation in the technical field before entering the political arena. He worked as a professional electrical engineer, utilizing his analytical skills and problem-solving abilities before shifting his focus toward public service and elective politics in Uganda.

During his time in the political sphere, Matovu became known for his advocacy and commitment to community development within Busiro South. His transition from engineering to legislature reflected a strong desire to impact grassroots development and amplify the voices of his constituents at a national level.

As tributes continue to pour in from across the political divide, colleagues have remembered him as a diligent worker and a passionate advocate for change. The leadership of NUP has extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family during this difficult time of grief.
