I paid a courtesy visit to Col (Rtd) William Omaria at Ruby’s Hospital, Kampala, where he is recovering. It was a deeply humbling moment to spend time with one of Uganda’s distinguished patriots and statesmen. Col Omaria holds a unique place in our history as the first East African graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He served Uganda with distinction as Minister of Internal Affairs, Member of Parliament for Soroti County, and was among the gallant fighters of Kikosi Maalum who, alongside the Tanzania People’s Defence Force (TPDF), liberated Uganda in 1979. He is also one of the only two surviving members of the Military Council under the UNLF Government, together with our Revolutionary Leader, H.E. Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Col Omaria was delighted by the visit and asked me to convey his gratitude, warm regards, and best wishes to President Museveni and his family. We wish him a speedy recovery.@KagutaMuseveni @JanetMuseveni @mkainerugaba
