Unfortunately, Ndagire developed mental problems; she did not even bury the Late J C Kiwanuka!
When I got the final programme to J C Kiwanuka's burial, there was problem of power so i could not get Internet, but the good Lord helped me. Someone helped me and I was able to send the programme.
William Kituuka
The Late J C Kiwanuka used the words smacked and smashed, “The old colonial idea that there was hardly anybody in Uganda that was capable of reading successfully for a degree was first smacked by a SMACK product. The Late J C Kiwanuka smashed the theory on the colonialists’ own ground in United Kingdom.”
The Late J C said that a certain lady at Nottingham University on realizing their potential ended up writing to Makerere University advising them to start awarding degrees on seeing how competent they were.
The Late J C Kiwanuka was not in the practice of celebrating his birthdays, but for his 84th birthday in 2003, Old Boys of St. Mary’s College Kisubi led by Charles Mbire sponsored his tour to United Kingdom and he celebrated his birthday then.
Annual Meeting of the John Chrysostom’s
Those by the name of John Chrysostom have an annual meeting at a residence of one of the namesakes. Unfortunately, they have lost J C Kiwanuka following his passing on.

Subject: Folks in the Diaspora wishing to contribute to J.C KIWANUKA fund...
Dear William, thanks for keeping us informed about J.C Kiwanuka's death.
I have informed the St. Mary's Kisubi forum on Facebook about whatever is happening and I'm receiving condolence messages and people in the Diaspora who would like to make contributions.
They've requested that I find out from an authority (and I think you are one here) who can consult with the various stake holders...about an account openned specifically to handle this...and manned by reliable and credible folks...or even J. C's family.
Can you find out about this so that we post this message to many who would like to help. If you attending the burial preparatory meetings, perhaps you could find out.

Subject: JC KIWANUKA BURIAL PROGRAMME
Firstly I would like to thank Mr. Willy Kituuka, from whose blog, the following information has been retrieved.
Willy posted:
"...45 days to his 91st birthday due on 27th July, J. C Kiwanuka passed away between 7.00pm and 9.00pm on the evening of Saturday 12th June 2010. He was found having collapsed in his room and was believed dead, though taken to Kisubi Hospital to prove. One of the patients admitted at Kisubi says that there was commotion and he was pronounced dead there! The Children I have talked to say that tentatively, the... See More programme to the burial is as follows; this is as per the children, but subject to change after the meeting with SMACKOBA and other authorities:
1) The body to be got from Mulago on Tuesday 15th around 10.00am to the Late’s residence;
2) The same day at around midday, a Funeral Service at Kisubi Parish Church;
3) The body to stay overnight at Kawuku the official residence;
4) On Wednesday 16th a Funeral Service at Lubaga Cathedral; this may be at midday or such time as may be agreed to by the authorities at Lubaga Cathedral;
5) From Lubaga, the body to be taken to Luwero to stay overnight;
6) Burial at family burial grounds on Thursday 17th at 2pm
The above programme is tentative hence subject to change.
Did I hear well? St. Joseph Technical Institute contributed shs 20,000 to the burial of the Late J C Kiwanuka! Unbelievable if true.
1. Trinity College Nabingo – more than 20 years
2. St. Joseph Technical Institute – more than 20 years
3. Savio & Kabojja Junior Schools – more than 20 years
4. St. Henry’s Girls’ SSS Buyege 4 years
5. Uganda Martyrs High School Lubaga – 4 years
6. St. Andrews SSS Kasaala since it started up to 2007
7. St. Joseph’s Nsambya Girls SSS – 3 years
St. Mary’s College Kisubi (SMACK) contributed shs 1,000,000 to the burial of the Late J C Kiwanuka. I have attended some few of the Requiem Mass for Old Boys of St. Mary’s College Kisubi nd normally, the school contributes shs 100,000 to burial expenses. The contribution of shs 1,000,000 by SMACK was fair recognition of the efforts of the Late J C. Thanks to the School Board and management. 2ndly, Brother Edward Bukenya the Head teacher told the mourners that the Late J C Kiwanuka had told him to uphold the School standards which Brother Bukenya says he has done.
