Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The construction of an innovation institute in memory of Ignatius Kangave Musaazi, the founding father of Uganda\u2019s Independence Movement, will kick off next year.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to Ms Elizabeth Musaazi, the daughter of the late Musaazi, mobilisation of the funds for the construction of the institute is in the final stages ahead of the start of the construction in Nakaseke District.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Ms Musaazi had said the money, which amounts to more than Shs500m, will be mobilized from the public, well-wishers and government through the Ignatius K. Musaazi Foundation.<\/p>\n

Ms Musaazi, who is also Uganda’s Ambassador to Cuba, was speaking on Wednesday during the IK Musaazi Annual Lecture and Memorial Week.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the I.K. Musazi Memorial Foundation, I wish to inform you that the next programme next year will include the laying of a foundation stone for the I.K. Musazi Innovation Institute in Nakaseke District,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis institute, which is a forerunner to our university, will among others host the Musaazi Museum, where his tangible legacy in the form of documents, photographs, audios, and videos will be stored. The collection will include tangible memories of the struggle for freedom and independence of Uganda,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Musaazi is remembered for founding Uganda\u2019s first political party, the Uganda National Congress Party in 1952, which later played a role in demanding for Uganda\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n

The chief guest at the memorial lecture, Mr Kintu Nyago, who is Uganda\u2019s former Ambassador to South Africa, urged Ugandans to emulate Musaazi and participate in the politics of their country.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusaazi never viewed politics to be a dirty game, as some people claim it is. Rather, he viewed politics to be the science of the management of society. Now, keeping that kind of orientation, we should appreciate that politics is very central in man’s life. Not much can be done institutionally or in an organized manner without the right politics,\u201d Ambassador Nyago said.<\/p>\n

He also hailed President Museveni and the government for supporting the IK Musaazi Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank the government of Uganda and indeed Ambassador Elizabeth Musaazi and her family for championing the cause of the Musaazi Foundation. Many people make contributions and they are forgotten. There is nobody to, especially in Africa where you don’t write, where we depend a lot on oral history. So if people die, they die with history. There are no structures to support,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ms Musaazi said her father was a definition of a true nationalist.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was one not to be compromised on political freedoms, democracy, economic, and social welfare of the people, and upheld the interests of Uganda above personal leadership ambitions. These ideals are as relevant today as they were then. There was no reason to believe that a young man at that time in this place, Uganda, and from a humble background could in any way sacrifice and contribute to altering Uganda’s history,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet all of us emulate the ideals he stood for,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
