Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu. Greetings. It is with great sorrow that I learnt of the death of our friend Prof. Kanyeihaamba. I remember first meeting Professor Kanyeihaamba, I think, at the historic debate between Prof. Mazrui and Dr. Rodney at Makerere University. This is when Prof. Mazrui, in his remarks, said that he was not in “conflict” with Dr. Rodney, whereupon Rodney said that they cannot be in “conflict” because they were not even in “touch”. Rodney meant that Mazrui was talking about neo-colonialism while he was talking about real independence. After that debate, I next met Kanyeihamba in UK as part of our external committee in the 1981-86 war. After liberation, he became part of the NRM Government as a minister and, at one time, he represented Rubaanda. Later on, he became a Judge. I salute his contribution to Uganda and to the NRM over the years. Condolences to his family and friends. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Signed: Yoweri K. Museveni President Of the Republic of Uganda(Yoweri K Museveni)
