the burial ceremony is set for January 30, 2021, they have not realized Shillings
500 million need for different funeral activities.
He reveals that they
have to all Bamasaba legislators, LC V chairpersons,
local governments, Chief Administrative Officer, Bamasaba in the diaspora and
at home to contribute towards the burial ceremony.
According to Mukhwana, they expected the government through
the Gender, Labor and Social Development Ministry to support them but nothing
has come yet, which has forced to launch the drive.

Cue out:……this is our function,’’//

Bumasaba and well-wishers to respond to their fundraising drive to give Mushikori
a well-deserving send-off.

month will be laid to rest at his ancestral home in Busayi village in Bududa
Sub County in Bududa district.
