J C Kiwanuka fare thee well (weraba) - Testimonies

The Late J C Kiwanuka loved St. Mary's College Kisubi and humbled himself
One testimony during the Requiem Mass at SMACK Chapel, the mourners were told that when J C got to St. Mary's College Kisubi, there was no official accommodation for lay staff. He was therefore accommodated behind the Sickbay!
The Late J C when asked about how he felt when he was given a big new house at SMACK, he said “Just normal, school administrators were expecting European lay staff, but I occupied the first tiled-roof house at mile fifteen”.

J. C had to prove his worth at SMACK
Another testimony about the Late J C was that initially after he joined St. Mary's College Kisubi, he had been given Geography classes and not Mathematics, but gradually and with his patience, his potential was revealed through improved performance by the students!

J. C's example is an eye opener of how bursary and student loan schemes can help needy but poor and potential academicians.
The Late J c Kiwanuka initially got free education in catholic Founded primary schools; and given that his father was a catechist, he was not required to pay fees. At St. Henry's Kitovu, Father Joire paid his fees. At St. Mary's College Kisubi, 1/2 of the school fees was a bursary and half was paid by the Late Bishop E. Michaud. No fees at Makerere College; and a scholarship from Buganda Government to Nottingham University.
Given this experience of a very valuable person but without financial resources, all I can say is that a sustainable student loan scheme should have been in place more than 2 decades ago.

The Late J C Kiwanuka's body was given the respect of a hero he had all along wanted to be public knowledge
It is wrong to say that J C in death was cheated. Those who had been sincere about his achievements for Uganda, were there to show it as his body was got from Mulago on Tuesday 15th June 2010. For those who used Entebbe highway in the afternoon, it is true many suffered the inconvenience which was worth as people came out openly to show that the fallen man had been a hero. The motor cyclists I learn were stopped at Zana trading centre as it was realised their numbers were bound to disrupt traffic. However, from Zana an estimated 100 or so cyclists were there to show solidality to the late J C. The motor cyclists say that J C loved them and they loved him, however they did not know that the humble man was a national figure. The Democratic Party took opportunity to show the public that J C was actually thier own. Having 2 flags at the gate to the Late's home was not enough. They provided the green cloth which made it impossible to see the make of the coffin. It is said that from about 1/4 a mile to J C's house, the body took more than 30 minutes and the road users were wondering who the big fellow was that was being honoured in death. The body was got from the vehicle at Cabana and the youth crossed the road with it. After the Mass, DP took over the floor; however, it was Major General Kaihura's Police band that helped the situation. Later in the night after a Mass led by Vicar Kasibante; DP was told off that J C was a man uniting all and it would be unfair to have them dominate the function.
