KAGENYI LUKKA: Tribute to the Late Mark Baingana, Deputy RCC Makindye Division

What the report says

Watchdog Uganda published a tribute by Kagenyi Lukka mourning the death of Mark Baingana, who served as Deputy RCC for Kampala’s Makindye Division. The piece presents Baingana as a public servant known within the Office of the President’s RCC/RDC network and among Kampala residents, and it frames his passing as a loss for the division, the city and the country.

According to the tribute, Baingana was remembered for his involvement in local security issues, community barazas, land conflict resolution and support for government programmes. The author also describes him as someone who worked with LC leaders, religious institutions, security agencies and civil society, portraying him as a bridge between government and communities. The article emphasizes qualities such as discipline, humility and service, while also noting his role as a family man and person of faith.

The publication does not give a cause of death or further details about when he died. Its central purpose is commemorative, offering condolences to his family and to people in Makindye Division. In Uganda’s local administration system, Resident City Commissioners and their deputies are part of the central government’s presence in cities and districts, so the tribute also underscores the significance of the office Baingana held.
