We should thank the Almighty Lord who has given us Ali Kibirige as one who has replaced our beloved one. Our task is to help Kibirige to move from one step to another,\u201d Mr Kiberu said.<\/p>\n<p>Makerere University Business School Principal, Prof Waswa Balunywa said he was happy that the late BMK, planned for business continuity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe told our students how to start businesses and how to manage them. He also taught us how to manage family businesses. He also learnt from us and if you read what he did when he was leaving his businesses, he learnt about the continuity of business when its pioneer has departed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>[email protected]<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
