Uganda Defense Minister Sarak Mateke has died after a short illness, the government says.


The minister was pronounced dead at a hospital in the capital, Kampala, where she was rushed on Saturday morning, Information Minister Chris Baryomunsi announced, according to TRT Afrika.

Vice President Jessica Alupo said she learnt of the death with "profound shock and deep sorrow", according to a post on X social media.


The spokesperson of the defense ministry said the minister was scheduled to travel to South Korea on Saturday afternoon, the New Vision news website reports.


The European Union ambassador to Uganda Jan Sadek has said he was "deeply saddened" by the minister's death.


"She was a dedicated and strong leader in all her political fields and a generous supporter of the EU-Uganda partnership," he said in a post on X.
