Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The widow of Ugandan economist Keith Muhakanizi Saturday told mourners that she learnt marriage was about the heart when her husband lost their wedding ring in the capital of the United States of America.<\/p>\n

The couple, who have three children, wedded on December 8, 1990.<\/p>\n

\u201cA week after our wedding, Keith Muhakanizi flew to Washington to attend World Bank meetings and returned with no wedding ring after two weeks,\u201d Mrs Janet Muhakanizi told mourners.<\/p>\n

According to the widow, she was puzzled and forced to ask Muhakanizi to explain how the matrimonial ring had vanished.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked him what had happened. He told me that he didn\u2019t know. I was confused but he wasn\u2019t bothered about the lost ring,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen later, I learnt that it was not the ring as a symbol of commitment but the heart…Keith has lived to this,\u201d she told a gathering of mostly government officials including President Museveni on a cloudy day.<\/p>\n

Described by Finance Minister Matia Kasaija as one of the \u201cgrandfathers of Uganda\u2019s modern economy,\u201d Muhakanizi died after he\u2019d long battled cancer- which he succumbed to in Italy on April 13.<\/p>\n

Mrs Muhakanizi said circumstances under which the ring got lost remained a mystery even until when her husband was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the God who united us on December 8, 1990 and ended this commitment on April 13 is testimony to Keith\u2019s innocence in losing the ring,\u201d Mrs Muhakanizi highlighted.<\/p>\n

\u2018What hurt me\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mrs Muhakanizi revealed that she had \u201cenjoyed a deeper understanding of Keith through his sickness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat hurt me, a week before Keith could not talk, was that he told me about some relatives who I didn\u2019t know. I wondered why all that came to his mind at that particular time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe, God wanted me to know more about his relatives so that the children get to understand their identity more,\u201d Mrs Muhakanizi noted as she visibly started to snivel.<\/p>\n

The widow also disclosed that Muhakanizi had tasked her on family stewardship.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/b>He first told me that he wanted to tell me something but kept quiet for a week. Then he said I have prepared for my children but make sure that you give them guidance.”<\/p>\n

Born in 1957, Muhakanizi who often gesticulated while delivering remarks- will be buried on Sunday in Lyantonde District in an event that ends his much-acknowledged economic technocracy in government from June 1982-2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was surprised to hear that Muhakanizi had died. I was aware that he’d been on treatment for cancer in Turkey. I didn\u2019t know he was going to Italy but he was optimistic that cancer had gone. He has played his part. Life is like that. We shall all die,\u201d Museveni #MonitorUpdates pic.twitter.com\/6qLsF8qYmD<\/p>\n

\u201cKeith Muhakanizi was stubborn and very direct. Sometimes, his directness stung but he had a way of using very few words to say a lot. We’re going to move on. We’re going to be stronger and protect the legacy that our father has created,” his three children say. #MonitorUpdates pic.twitter.com\/NMK57REYHk<\/p>\n
