Abraham Luzzi refuses to attend burials, urges Ugandans to embrace insurance

• Abraham Luzzi says he does not attend burials and has insurance to cover his own burial expenses.

• He rejects wedding fundraising, calling it unpreparedness and disrespectful to a future spouse.

• Luzzi urges Ugandans to embrace insurance and personal responsibility instead of relying on community contributions.

Former Kampala Central MP aspirant Abraham Luzzi has once again got people talking—this time over his firm stance on burials, weddings, and personal responsibility.

Luzzi says he simply does not attend burials, regardless of who has passed on, and he would rather people stop inviting him altogether. For him, it’s not about being insensitive; it’s about living by a principle he strongly believes in.

When asked who would bury him when his own time comes, Luzzi responded without hesitation. He revealed that he already has insurance in place to take care of his burial expenses.

In fact, he used the moment to urge Ugandans to take insurance seriously, warning that families often end up struggling or depending on others when tragedy strikes.

“Without insurance, you are a joker,” he said bluntly.

His no-nonsense attitude doesn’t stop there. Luzzi also made it clear that no one will ever fundraise for his wedding. According to him, collecting money from friends and relatives to finance a marriage is a sign of unpreparedness—and, more importantly, disrespect to his future wife.

“When people do it, they grow a certain kind of entitlement,” he explained. “You don’t have to ask people to collect money for you to marry someone’s daughter. Go make money, then think about marriage.”

In a society where it’s common for communities to contribute towards weddings and other major life events, Luzzi’s remarks stand out. But he insists that marriage should be built on financial stability and readiness, not on community fundraising drives.

He also had a message for those who regularly reach out to him for help or conversation. Describing himself as a busy man who receives thousands of messages daily, Luzzi encouraged people to drop the pleasantries and get straight to the point.

“I am busy. The time I have is mine, my wife Sarah, and family,” he said. “Send a text or email, and if there’s need, I will get back to you.”

Love him or disagree with him, Luzzi’s position is clear: plan for yourself, take responsibility, and don’t rely on others to carry your personal obligations.
