President Yoweri Museveni has mourned the passing of Hajji Bulaimu Muwanga Kibirige commonly known as BMK.
BMK, the proprietor of Hotel African died on Friday at Agha khan hospital, Nairobi where he was admitted. His family members later confirmed that he succumbed to prostate cancer.
“I wish to extend, on behalf of the people of Uganda, my family, the NRM Party, and on my own behalf, heartfelt sympathies and condolences to the family, relatives, and friends of the Late Alhaji Bulaimu Muwanga. My thoughts are with the family during this moment of grief and sorrow. I pray that Allah grants you the fortitude and courage to go through this loss,” Museveni said.
Museveni said the Country has lost a great Entrepreneur and innovative Business Leader, who profitably took advantage of Uganda’s vast business opportunities to create jobs and incomes for our people.
“His numerous investments in the services industry, agriculture, manufacturing, etc. have created avenues for employment and revenue for the Country. His unwavering commitment and hard work enabled him to ascend to great heights of personal success and to create an international business empire from very humble beginnings,” he said.
The president said BMK leaves behind a great example, worth emulating, especially for the young generation. Persistence and dedication to correct principles yield positive results in the long run. “May Dr. Alhaji Bulaimu Muwanga Kibirige’s Soul Rest in Eternal Peace.”
