Hundreds of mourners on Saturday gathered at St Paul's Nyakisorooza Church of Uganda of North Kigezi diocese in Rukungiri district, for the send–off of the late Venerable Canon Reverend Geresom Ruhindi, who passed away on Thursday night at the age of 102.

Daughter to the deceased, former minister and MP Hope Mwesigye Ruhindi, described her father as a good leader that was never a hypocrite like some leaders of today.

She also described their father as a person who prioritized the education of his daughters at the time when people prioritized the education of boys.

Mwesigye also said that their father demonstrated values of honesty because he was never accused of stealing church funds and was always dependable. She thanked God for protecting their father from sicknesses until he died of old age.
