  • NRM opened a condolence book at the party secretariat on Kyadondo Road yesterday for the members and the entire public to pay tribute to Galiwago.

The National Resistance Movement (NRM) has described Hassan Wasswa Galiwango as a gallant patriotic member who served the ruling party selflessly.
Party spokesperson Emmanuel Dombo said they will greatly miss Galiwango whom he described as a great party mobiliser.
“As the NRM party, we are so saddened about the death of Galiwango and we are so grateful for his work for the 11 years he served at the secretariat. He also did a very recommendable role in the party mobilisation during his period as RDC and chairman of the division in Mbale” Mr Dombo said yesterday.

Galiwango, 64, who was Uganda’s High Commissioner to Kenya and Seychelles, died on Monday at Nairobi hospital from heart failure.
Before being appointed ambassador, Galiwango served as director of finance and administration at NRM Secretariat.
The NRM National Vice Chairperson, Hajj Moses Kigongo, said the late served with humility.
“The late was humble, intelligent, hardworking, dependable, patient and religious. These attributes enabled him to serve in different capacities and mingle up with people of different walks in life,” he said.
Mr Dombo urged NRM party supporters and the rest of Ugandans to emulate the deceased’s work ethics.
