We are doing all the necessary preparations here at home as we wait for the body to accord him a decent burial,\u201d Christopher Mutebile, a brother of the economist, said yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Christopher described the deceased as a strong family pillar who loved everybody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe received the sad news about his death at around 5am on Sunday morning and we are so distressed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Joseph Mutebile said their brother has been battling diabetes and hypertension for many years.<\/p>\n<p>He said they were yet to convene a family meeting to organise the governor\u2019s send-off ceremony whose date is yet to be communicated. Dr Ruhakana Rugunda, the former premier and Prof Tumusiime-Mutebile\u2019s childhood friend, said the governor\u2019s passing leaves Uganda poorer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProf Mutebile played a great role in liberating Uganda politically and economically. He has been a giant in the management of the economy of our country. He was an outstanding student leader when he served as Makerere University guild. It is a sad moment that we have lost him. May his soul rest in peace,\u201d Dr Rugunda said<\/p>\n<p>The State Minister for Industry, Mr David Bahati, eulogised Tumusiime-Mutebile\u2019s as a great economist, who leaves a legacy of hard work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis contribution to maintaining the macro economics and stability of our country will forever be remembered. His generosity touched many lives in Kigezi and Uganda My condolences to his wife, Betty, other family members, Kigezi fraternity and the country,\u201d Mr Bahati said.<\/p>\n<p>The president of the International Community of Banyakigezi (ICOB), Uganda Chapter, Ms Grace Mugabirwe, said economist advocated for the unity and prosperity of the Bakiga community.<\/p>\n<p>The head of laity in Kigezi Diocese, Canon Johnson Baryantuma Munono said Kigezi has lost a transparent leader who kept his word and was never a traitor.<\/p>\n<p><b>editorial@ug.nationmedia.com<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
