Without doubt, I have led a busy life and at this age of 80
am still laboring. My passion for work perhaps came from my difficult times of
childhood.
Un like most of my contemporaries, my exact date of birth is
not certain due to a lot of poverty stricken in Nama-sub county, Mukono
district. I recall the death of my mother when she was giving birth at a
certain hospital which was government aided due to in ability to buy a laze
brand at only 50UGX.
When i reached school going age, my uncle a teacher in
almost 5 schools asked for me. But even though, the uncle could not meet the
needs of the family because the money he collected monthly could sum up to $70.
Since the uncle was also poor, I started writing using
stones in the dust, but before I finished writing the first word, the wind
would come and blow it a way. In the subsequent years, I had to do odd jobs in
order to supplement my tuition fees.
But even under such conditions I exhibited academic
excellence and good behavior which attracted many people willing to help me
further my education. After primary school, I was admitted at Lubiri SS where
my passion for accountancy gained momentum. I then joined Makerere University
for bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance.
Now I residue in a home for fortified with a high wall that
keeps prying eyes at the bay. Besides, I have served in many governments of
Uganda including that of obote who almost wanted to massacred my life because
of being so royal to the king (Kabaka) during the 1966 Buganda crisis.
“Though I had a humble background, but I went on to have a
remarkable life and career, you too can prove the same or even more”.
