Mr Absolom Bwanika Baale, the FDC Luweero party
chairman, says the late Bugimbi pioneered the rebuilding of churches for
Luweero Diocese which had just been curved out of Namirembe.
“I remember at the time of his consecration he rejected a vehicle donated by President Museveni, saying such a vehicle could not enable him do his work as a Bishop in an area which a poor road network and just recovering from the ruins of the liberation war struggle,” Mr Baale told Daily Monitor yesterday.

Bishop Bugimbi championed several church projects. The most notable ones include the renovation and extension of St Mark Cathedral, training several clergy and starting a vocational school for the blind among others.

“We also remember him for bringing Busoga Trust,
an NGO which constructed water sources for our people. These were not
normal times for Luweero which was just recovering from war,” Mr Baale
said.
Can Edward Nsamba Bukenya, a leading educationist and director of Wobulenzi Parents School, says Bishop Bugimbi was bold in whatever programmes he undertook as a Bishop of Luweero Diocese.

“Luweero was just recovering from war when we were
granted a Diocese status. This called for hard work, endurance
considering the many challenges which the Bishop with the help of the
Christians undertook. The five years he was our Bishop were fruitful
years,” Can Nsamba said.
According to family sources, Bishop Bugimbi
succumbed to cancer of the throat, High blood pressure and Kidney
complications at his home in Kabusu, Rubaga Division in Kampala in the
early morning hours of Wednesday.
