Prof. Kagonyera Awards Americans with Degree of Ignorance as Sixteen Eminent Personalities are Bestowed with Honorary Professorship and Doctorate degrees

By Robert Ndawula

Sixteen eminent Ugandans who have excelled in business, scientific research and judicial circles, have been rewarded with Honorary Doctorates and Professorships at Serena Hotel by the United Graduate College and Seminary.

The group has been awarded degrees, not for hours spent in lecture rooms but for the extra ordinary achievements and the services they render to the community.

Speaking at the event, Prof. George Mondo Kagonyera congratulated grandaunds upon the achievement and advised them to live the honor and not to associate with diminishing acts, before he called Americans ignorant, first on themselves and then the rest of the world.

Kagonyera gave justice Bamwine credit for his efforts as regards transforming the information system of the country. However, he later reminded him how corrupt his sector was.

The Makerere University chancellor sent the audience into laughter when quoting his tribe proverb; "Bakiga have no kings but whenever u find them, honor them," he afterward tasked the business gurus to produce the kind of products they expect from Universities.

The list of achievers

The graduands included Patrick Bitature, Justice Yorokamu Bamwine, Hon. Bright Rwamirama, Hon. Elly Karuhanda, James Tumusiime, Amiral Alimohamed Karmali Snr in his absence, Karim Hirji, Sikander Lelani, Alykhan Karmali, Ben Mugasha, Dr. Shiraz Meghani, Besimbe Zephyrino and Dr. Ssali David.

Speaking on behalf of Grandaunts, Patrick Bitature credited college dropouts for creating employment to the learned, stressing the fact that there is no lack of lawyers, teachers, doctors among other professionals but the pressing need of more job creators in Uganda.

He called on fellow businessmen to join force and to be a source of inspiration to the coming generation before thanking singer Angela Katatumba for the charitable works towards the Ugandan Community.

Upon his closing remarks with his signature ‘May God bless Uganda and us all,’ the Audience was later treated to a live performance from the ‘Let’s go green’ ace Angella Katatumba and the Magic Horns Band.
