IF A PERSON APPROACHES YOU FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE NEVER HIDE YOUR IDENTITY IF YOU DECIDE TO HELP HIM/HER.
Many times when someone is in a fix to the extent of calling on you
for financial assistance he/she May not be sure that you will bail
him/her in which case he/she May approach many more people to increase
the chances of getting assisted.
If you decide to assist this
person using mobile money, it is important that your identity is clear.
If the person you assisted does not say
thank you, the reason is that he/she tried a number of options and is
now not sure who bailed him, and it becomes difficult for him/her to
start ringing all those he had expected assistance from to find out who
sent the money. So, if you send money to a person and he does not say
thank you, what should get to your mind is that he/she is not sure who
sent the money, so what you have to do is get open tell him/her that you
sent the money and you will definitely get a thank you.
Looks simple but it is an experience in life.

FARE THEE WELL DR. JOSEPH GALIWANGO
WHAT CLASSMATE DR. GEORGE KKOLOKOLO SAID ABOUT DR. JOSEPH GALIWANGO
Brothers, gentlemen and fellow OBs! I think most of you have read in the press the very highly shocking news : the death of our fellow OB, the famous Dr Joseph Galiwango who was found dead in his country home house in Wakiso. Dr Galiwango has for most of the time lived in Ontario Canada where he practiced as a leading paediatrician appreciated by all.Dr Galiwango was an eminent member of Mugwanya House and was an academic giant! He belonged to that very prestigious academic year which in 1964 did marvels in the Cambridge O-Level exams, and this was the fateful road accident year which cost us the 12 great students. In the exams Dr Galiwango got 11 points and was one of the three students who came second to scientsist John Nazareth (Canada) who scored aggregate 9. That same year had, among the very many others, Katikkiro Hon J.B.Walusimbi, Hon J.B. Kawanga of Masaka, Hon Leonard Lubowa ( ex-Mayor of Kla), Prof E. K. Mbidde, Dr G.H. Kkolokolo etc..( as I'm expected to give more detail on them later). In the A-Levels Dr Galiwango was tops in his PCB combination in Uganda, garnering a solid 1BAA3 and Cambridge awarded him with a scholarship to study Medicine in UK. He won good degrees there and became Member of the Royal College of Physicians. He was recruited there and eventually in Canada where he stayed for many years before retiring to Uganda. Dr Galiwango was a very friendly person and had a very high opinion of the Brothers and fellow OBs. Sincere condolences to the family, his wife and their four sons, and all relatives. Condolences as well to the Brothers who knew him so much and to all OBs who now lose a real pillar of their community. May the Good Lord bless his humble soul in His heavenly glory.

DR. LAWRENCE KAGGWA SAYS ...
It is quite sad the loss of one of the most brilliant students
St Mary's has
ever groomed. The little I know about him was that he was the best at
his HSC in the mid 60's( PC
He
did so well he earned himself a scholarship to study
Medicine in Glasgow from where he trans located to Canada. I am told, but I
have never seen him, that he was soft spoken and reserved. Also that he had
come back to follow up on his developments in Kampala.
May his soul rest in eternal peace!

DR. JOE GALIWANGO , WINDSOR PEDIATRICIAN, FOUND DEAD IN UGANDAN HOME.
'His contribution to medicine is beyond just the practice of pediatrics'
CBC News Posted: Jun 12, 2016 5:12 PM ET Last Updated: Jun 13, 2016 10:35 AM ET
A former Windsor, Ont., doctor, Joe Galiwango, was found dead in his home in Uganda on June 9. The Uganda Police Force confirmed to CBC News late Sunday that it's investigating how Galiwango died.
Dr. Galiwango was a well-respected pediatrician who practiced for more than 30 years in Windsor before retiring in Uganda.
He co-founded the former neonatal intensive care unit at Grace Hospital in Windsor, and he was also instrumental in helping with the W.E. Care for Kids campaign fundraising, which supports local pediatric health care.
"His contribution to medicine is beyond just the practice of pediatrics," said Dr. Gary Ing, who first met Galiwango as a medical student. "He certainly added to the overall being of the children in our community."
His death came as a surprise to many who knew him well, including Frank Kigozi who was a long-time friend of Galiwango.
"I was very heartbroken," said Kigozi, "He was really a good good man."
Kigozi met Galiwango in 1993 when he moved to Windsor from Uganda. He credits Galiwango for helping him to become more familiar with Canada.
"He encouraged us to take up English because that's the only way we could survive here," said Kigozi. "I am still shocked about his passing. He was a nice guy and a role model to me."
Dr. Ing also says the medical field and those who knew Galiwango are grieving. "He's well-liked by both his colleagues and the patients and their families," said Ing.

IS IT RIGHT FOR A LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCIL IN UGANDA TO USE ANOTHER LANGUAGE IN ITS DELIBERATIONS A PART FROM ENGLISH?
I think it is
unlawful for any local government in Uganda to deliberate in a local language.
This is against the background that minutes of such deliberation MUST be in the
official language which is understood by Government Public Servants who come in
to audit whatever council decided or even the management of financial resources.
HIS MAJESTY KABAKA MUTEBI WEDDING AND OTHER ISSUES
Wedding day
It was the wedding of His Majesty the King of Buganda Ronald
Muwenda Mutebi II which took place at St. Paul Cathedral, Namirembe on August
27, 1999.
This was billed Uganda's wedding of the millennium and by then
the King was 45 years old.
Unlike
political leaders in Uganda, the King commands respect from his subjects in a
traditional cultural setting and he is so much loved by the people to the
extent that normally a month to his visit of any place within his Buganda
kingdom, preparations are started. And the people are always very jolly to see
him in public.
On the occasion of the wedding, Maj. Richard Carr Gomm, king
Mutebi's childhood guardian brought best wishes from Queen Elizabeth and also
from Mutebi's godparents Capt. Ronnie and Mrs Owen.
News that the King was to marry became public knowledge on
February 18 when the Buganda Katikiiro (Prime minister) made the announcement.

The chairman of the wedding finance sub-committee, James Mulwana, yesterday briefed journalists about the donations and how the money was spent.
Mulwana who was flanked by Prince Kassim Nakibinge and Mengo minister of Finance, J. B. Walusimbi plus several wedding sub-committee heads, told a news conference at Lugogo Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA) boardroom, that on top of cash, other items were also received.
"In terms of cash contributions, we received a total of Shs 736 million and US $86,000 (Shs 126,420,000)," Mulwana said in a news write-up which was read to journalists by Mengo's minister of Information and Public Relations.

Ministry of Finance contributed Shs 64m to pay the taxes on the Kabaka's vehicle, a Toyota Lexus which was imported from Japan.
Mulwana said that the vehicle cost US $65,000 (Shs 95,550,000) but denied it was imported to drive the royal couple. The cash contributions plus services valued in kind totaled Shs 1,106,844,750.
Mulwana also cited some of the various organizations that provided services; Uganda Electricity Board who provided a generator, electrical power connection to the Twekobe and street lights on Kabakanjagala Drive, National Water and Sewerage Corporation provided the water to the Lubiri, while Uganda Telcom Limited provided the telephone exchange for Kireka Palace.
Century Bottling Company donated 2,000 crates of soda, Nile Breweries 400 crates of beer, Uganda Breweries 100 crates of beer, Crown Beverages 500 crates of soda, Caltex 2,000 litres of fuel and the US Embassy, USAID plus BAT who provided tents for the reception.

Mulwana said out of the money contributed Shs 200m went to ROKO Construction as part payment towards the renovation of Twekobe.
"The estimated cost so far is Shs 500m of which we have paid Shs 200m. ROKO will be able to give us the final cost of the work when it is completed in about a month's time," he said; adding that 60% of the job is complete.
He said another Shs 230m was used to upgrade the Kireka Palace, the wedding reception cost Shs 160m, invitations, decorations and church cost Shs 20m while security and first aid cost Shs 16m.
He further said that video, photography, TV transmissions plus entertainment cost Shs 20m. Other items cost Shs 90m and US $21,000 (Shs 30,870,000).
Mulwana thanked all those who contributed, and asked Baganda and Mengo friends to continue contributing to allow Mengo complete the Twekobe.
He said more works like landscaping and fencing around the main building and constructing of other buildings, required to make the Lubiri a functional residence for the Kabaka and his family, call for more donations.
"We have discharged our responsibility well and as transparently as we could. We ask Ssabasajja Kabaka and all the people of Uganda to forgive us for those things which have not gone perfectly well. We apologise to those who have been inconvenienced in any way. We thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this process," Mulwana added.

All the people of Buganda were invited to the reception which
was at the Kings palace.
King Mutebi was born on 13th April 1955 at Mulago Hospital.
Mutesa body brought back to Uganda.
Amin (RIP) meets Mutebi prior to burial of his father.
On April 4, 1971 when the body of his late father Sir Edward
Mutesa II was brought back for burial is when he became head of the 52 clans
which make Buganda.
