Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni has hailed former Ugandan leader Paulo Muwanga\u2019s wife Kasalina [Catherine] Zawedde \u201cfor her exemplary life and commitment to the family and country in addition to helping her husband during service.<\/b><\/p>\n

On Saturday, President Museveni noted that Zawedde helped Muwanga to nurture children responsibly, holding the family together even after her husband\u2019s death in 1991.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll those associated with Kasalina must be proud of the legacy which she has left behind; and the sense of bereavement that you feel now, should not diminish her beautiful memory,\u201d Museveni said in his speech delivered by lands minister Judith Nabakooba during burial at Ndoddo Village in Kamengo Sub-County, Mpigi District.<\/p>\n

The president contributed Shs10million to assist the family in burial arrangements.<\/p>\n

Funeral service celebrant Rev Samuel Katabula Kibuuka called for unity and collective efforts to change the spiritual and physical world regardless of our political affiliations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe deceased advocated for peace. Even when she met the President at Kololo one time, she requested him to continue providing peace to this country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cLet us work as a family for the betterment and development as we move forward. Politics should not split us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zawedde died aged 92 at Nakasero Hospital where she had been hospitalized for some time.<\/p>\n

Her burial was attended by different dignitaries including former Prime Minister Kintu Musoke, Uganda People\u2019s Congress (UPC) party President Jimmy Akena and presidential advisor Amelia Kyambadde.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of the deceased\u2019s children, Dr Suzie Nansozi Muwanga acknowledged their \u201cmother\u2019s love especially during the absence of their father.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou remember very well our dad was always away from home, during the guerilla war and when he died our dear mum has been there all the time,\u201d Dr Muwanga said.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cWe promise to keep that legacy and live the exemplary life she showed us such that it penetrates into our children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Nansozi commended Museveni for loving their family despite their father being opposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (president) spared some time and visited our mother and even made phone calls and spoke in Runyankole. We cannot take it for granted,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

Muwanga married Zawedde in 1948 but served as president for just under a month in May 1980.<\/p>\n
