The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, The Most Rev Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu says the late James Garuga Musinguzi had big heart not only for the people in Kigezi but the entire country.
Speaking at funeral service at All Saints Cathedral, the Archbishop revealed that the James Garuga Musinguzi did pay schools fees to children from Karamoja and that even while on his deathbed, Musinguzi signed a cheque to pay fees of children from Moroto. Musinguzi died at Nakasero hospital on Wednesday. He was aged 71.
“It is important to have faith. But faith without action is dead. So here we are talking about faith in action. I want to appreciate God for the man who is here Dr. James Gauruga Musinguzi. This is a man whose faith was demonstrated by his works,” said Kazimba Mugalu.
He said that James Garuga Musinguzi has been very generous to the church.
“He has really done a ministry which Jesus would call a holistic ministry. Jesus said he came that we should have life in its fullness. Dr. James has demonstrated this by tying to bring total transformation. Social, spiritual and economic transformation” added Kazimba Mugalu.
“When I was thinking about the summon for today, I thought about this parable. When Jesus said I was sick and you really supported me. I was naked and gave me a cloth. I was in hospital you visited me I was in prison you visited me. I had nothing you helped me. This is something we need to learn from this man”
The service was attended by former prime Ministers, Ruhakana Rugunda, John Patrick Amama Mbabazi. Also attendance were, former Chief Justice Bert Magunda Katureebe, former Minister, Sam Kahamba Kuteesa, the Lord Mayor of Kampala, Elias Lukwago and many others politicians across the political divide.

He will be laid to rest in Kanungu on Saturday-URN. Give us feedback on this story through our email: kamwokyatimes@gmail.com
