He died at 71 years due to kidney related complications.
According to Mr Matovu, Justice Musoke was admitted to Nsambya Hospital 10 days ago after he developed kidney complications.
He adds that on Wednesday evening, he felt much better and requested to be taken back home where he spent a night but his condition worsened and he was rushed back the following day and died moments later.

This was because it was very hard to fault and overturn his decisions even on appeal by higher courts.
