The local politicians in the region should stop making mockery of a distinguished man. The last time I checked non of them had risen close to the level of the late Kili in their resume. So Please PUT UP or SHUT UP!

Barnabas Kili, who was the education minster in Amin’s regime, passed away at Arua Hospital on Tuesday. Kili died at the age of 91 after suffering from fever and low blood pressure. Richard Abendu, a family member, said Kili’s health deteriorated when he sustained a leg fracture after a fall early this month. In a speech read by transport state minister Simon Ejua at the burial in Omvuko village, President Yoweri Museveni said Uganda had lost an instrumental educationalist. “He was the first military director of education.” The President said the nation will remain indebted to him. Museveni noted that at the departure of the British expatriates, Kili managed the transition well by ensuring that African teachers received a crush programme to fill the gap. Meanwhile, the occasion turned dramatic when Ejua criticised Terego MP Kassiano Wadri for concentrating on attacking the Government when he was given an opportunity to address the mourners. Wadri had earlier said Kili had been abandoned despite his contributions to the nation. But Ejua fired back, saying there were records to show that Kili received financial assistance from the Government. “We must evaluate ourselves before we speak. How many times did Wadri visit the late?” Ejua asked, attracting laughter from the congregation.
