Must read

President Yoweri Museveni has paid tribute to the late Bishop Emeritus Samuel Balagadde Ssekadde.

According to Rev. Prof. Samuel Lugoga, the Chairman of the Education Services Commission, Bishop Ssekadde died of a heart attack.

In a condolence message that was delivered by Robinah Nabbanja, the Prime Minister, Museveni said he received the news of the death of Bishop Emeritus Samuel Balagadde Ssekadde with sadness.

“I convey my heartfelt condolences on my own behalf and that of the National Resistance Movement’s (NRM) leadership to the family and the Church of Uganda upon the loss of a bishop, a father, a counsellor, and a friend,” Museveni said during the funeral service at Namirembe Cathedral.

He commiserated with Allen Ssekadde, the wife and children, upon the loss of her husband and father and asked God to uphold them in this time of grief.

“Today, we celebrate the late bishop Emeritus Samuel Baragadde Sekadde with gratitude for the service he has rendered to the church and more so to the nation. We grieve but with hope because he served and he knew God; we delight in his sons and the project he oversaw during his service to God’s people and those that he transformed during his preaching and counsel,” he said.

 He said the nation shall remain indebted to his service. Memories and his kind words of wisdom will ever be cherished.

Bishop emeritus has been laid to rest at the Namirembe cathedral cemetery.
