Renowned comedian Amooti Omubalanguzi, born Allan Mujuni, opened up about one of the toughest in his career as an entertainer.

He notes that he faced significant life challenges in 2014 including the loss of his very close partner and comedian Paddy Ssali, publicly known as Paddy Bitama.

Paddy Bitama, a former presidential hopeful, breathed his last at the cancer institute at Mulago National Referral Hospital early in January 2014.

After Paddy’s passing, the Amarula Family comedy group members fell apart and the group split due to a power struggle.

God yet again tested Amooti when he almost lost his children when his house caught fire, however, his children managed to escape with injuries and burns, thanks to the neighbours who ran to their rescue.

That same year, Amooti Omubalanguzi lost his mother in a motor accident.

He is grateful to God for having seen him through the troubles that seemed to break his spirit in such a short time.
