Dr Galiwango was appointed to the lucrative position in October 2020 by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
He took over from Phibby Otaala, who had resigned from office intending to run for a political seat but did not sail through.
However, Ms. Otaala protested his appointment and declined to hand over the post, arguing that she had not been recalled.
Dr Galiwango had been a long-serving director of finance and administration at The National Resistance Movement (NRM) secretariat.
He was the husband of Ugandan MP Connie Galiwango. The cause of his death is yet to be made public.
