He has died a saved man and I know he will go to heaven”, Persis Kiwanuka told the fully packed St. Mark’s Church congregation that included among others former Entebbe Municipality Mayor Stephen Kabuye, former UBOS Boss Male Mukasa, veteran Bakayimbira Drama actor Andrew Benon Kibuuka, Busiro East Member of Parliament Medard Segoona.
