Popular lawyer Anthony Wameli, who is one of National Unity Platform (NUP) principal Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine’s lawyers, is severely ill and currently battling for life at a hospital in America.
Sources reveal that Wameli is battling Stage Four cancer and has been hospitalised for almost two months now although the biggest hurdle he is facing is being able to pay the hospital bills.
Wameli’s situation is so bad that his fellow lawyers under the Uganda Law Society have since sent out a public request to all Ugandans to help raise the money to clear his medical bills.
Wameli, the head of the Legal Department of the National Unity Platform-NUP was diagnosed with stage four cancer in September this year.
Prior to that he had been battling on and off abdominal complications until medics at Boston Medical Center in Massachusetts, USA, diagnosed him with colon cancer alias bowel cancer.
However, he was first admitted between June and July 2021 in Boston, USA, over abdominal complications although by then medics had not diagnosed the cancer yet.
He revealed then that after the June admission thorough biopsies were done but it is only recently when they confirmed that he had stage four cancer.
Stage four colon cancer occurs when cancer spreads to other tissue and organs such as the liver.
It may also reach the lungs, the lymph nodes, or the lining of the abdominal cavity.
It should however be noted that the leadership of the National Unity Platform is yet to respond to the ULS request.
