Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Hundreds of mourners on Sunday thronged Nyamitanga hill to witness the sendoff of Mbarara\u2019s longest serving Archbishop Paul Kamuza Bakyenga.<\/p>\n

Archbishop Paul Bakyenga, 79, died on Tuesday at Nsambya Hospital in Kampala where he had gone for his routine medical checkup.<\/p>\n

President Museveni who was represented by Vice President Jessica Alupo as the chief mourner, described the prelate as a person who lived by example through his works as a church leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cI received the news of the demise of Archbishop Paul Bakyenga with sadness. I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Catholic Church, condolences to the archdiocese of Mbarara Nyamitanga and all the communities that benefited from the services and his leadership,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Museveni described Bakyenga as a person who lived a life of hard work that proved to many people the virtue of living by example through starting schools and other humanitarian projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday the nation and the Catholic Church celebrate the life of a leader who did not pride in his personal skills but clung to God for guidance. We appreciate the good work that he has done in being part of the cause of developing the nation by bringing services closer to the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Museveni said the late Bakyenga died at a time when the nation needed his counsel most, especially on challenging matters of Christianity.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe lived a worthwhile life of service to his nation and service in the kingdom of God through the lives that have been transformed under his spiritual call,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mr Thomas Tayebwa asked Christians to always show love and care to the one they cherish while they\u2019re still alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a problem of celebrating the dead and hating the living ones. You hate a person when he is alive but when he dies, you cry for him. For the Archbishop Bakyenga he lived an eternal peace when he was still alive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Tayebwa asked Ugandans to emulate the example of the late prelate because he demonstrated love and care for everybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of us when we die are prayed to, to rest in eternal peace because we live a life of hatred and bad heart. Let us do well when we are still alive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Archbishop of Mbarara, Lambert Bainomugisha, said the deceased cleric served God with humility and love for human kind.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a person of exceptional talents and yet exceptional humility, a remarkable pastor and a shepherd of God\u2019s people who has tirelessly served God\u2019s people with tremendous zeal and dedication,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The deceased Archbishop was buried inside Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cathedral Nyamitanga on the right hand side of the altar opposite the first Bishop of Mbarara Franc\u0327ois-Xavier Lacoursie\u0300re who was buried on the left hand side.<\/p>\n
