Rosemary Nyakikongoro, the Member of Parliament for Sheema district expressed concern that whenever someone passes away, people often forget everything about them and bury their knowledge along with them. She emphasized the importance of coming together to pray for the deceased and reflect on their contributions to the country.
Nyakikongoro highlighted that the late Archbishop emeritus Paul Kamuza Bakyenga was prayerful and deeply respected others, including the government, young and the elderly, stressing the significance of continued prayers for him.
Regarding corruption, Nyakikongoro acknowledged that the public must take the lead in combating it, as corrupt individuals originate from within the community.
The legislator argued that addressing corruption cannot be solely the responsibility of individuals like President Museveni, the judiciary, or the Police, as corruption persist across various institutions.
Nyakikongoro emphasized the need for the entire public to be vigilant and actively fight against corruption.
