The house is located in Kitete C, Ham Mukasa Zone, Mukono Central Division.

The fire seriously injured Agnes Tinkasimire the MP’s ex-wife and her unidentified house maid, who were in the house at the time.

The two are admitted at Mulago hospital in critical condition.
Addressing journalists at parliament Muruli said that government is going to investigate and get to the root of the matter.

Last week Tinkasimire told journalists that he was receiving calls from unknown people threatening to take his life as well as destroy his properties if he did not stop pushing for the demolition of illegal structures in the city by KCCA.
