"We gather today, to say farewell to a great man.
A man who rose from the poorest of backgrounds to become the talk of Kampala, the talk of Buganda, and the talk of Uganda and beyond.
A man who was small in stature but with a very big heart.
A man who did not attain so much education and yet possessed great knowledge. He was not an economist and yet he understood the economy of the boda boda rider, the mutembeyi, the woman in the market.
A man who joked a lot and yet was very serious on the causes concerning our country.
A man who came from right here in Kadugala village and yet died as a national hero." - President @HEBobiwine
