Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni has hailed former Head of Public Service John Mitala for being incorruptible during his long career in civil service.<\/p>\n

According to the President, Mitala was the true definition of a civil servant who exhibited ethics, orderliness and strictness in his work.<\/p>\n

Mr Museveni\u2019s remarks were contained in his speech read by the Minister for Presidency, Ms Milly Babalanda, at the burial of Mitala in Kiwomya Village, Bukulula Sub-county, Kalungu District, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has always maintained a high level of integrity and exhibited the highest qualities of a true civil servant. He was an advocate of the Code of Ethics in civil service,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr Mitala will always be remembered as a distinguished and strict proponent of an orderly civil servant in Uganda,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ms Deborah Katuramu, the deputy Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet, said Dr Mitala was a strong pillar of wisdom who always advised them to make arguments based on the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was very knowledgeable in the labour laws and the general management of public service. He always loved questioning issues that seemed not to go well and in case of an argument, he would base it on the law and the Constitution,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Kalungu East MP Francis Katabazi said Mitala often advocated for better pay for civil servants.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have lost a diligent and special person that chose to serve honestly even when the system he served in was not very favourable to enable him to stand out. We hope that the government has picked a leaf in his work methods and will possibly do something in his honour,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ms Liz Mitala and Ms Ruth Mitala, both daughters of Mitala, described their father as a principled man but one who cared and loved his family despite his busy schedule.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe always divided his time between family, friends and civil service without falling back on his cardinal goals of service delivery,\u201d Ms Ruth Mitala said.<\/p>\n

He was accorded a 13-gun salute.<\/p>\n
