Public servants need to reflect on Kyemba’s career
BY URN
Senior legislators have expressed growing concerns about the increasing shortage of public servants with unwavering integrity, warning that this issue could have serious implications for Uganda’s future, potentially leading to conflicts in the country.
These concerns were raised as lawmakers paid tribute to the late Henry Kisadha Kisajja Magumba Kyemba, a civil servant and politician known for his impeccable public service career. Kyemba, 84, passed away at URO Care Hospital in Kampala on October 19, 2023, due to complications related to diabetes.
He held several key positions during his distinguished career, serving as the Principal Private Secretary to former Presidents Milton Obote and Idi Amin from 1962 to 1971 and 1971 to 1973, respectively. He also served as the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Culture and Community Development from 1974 to 1975 and as the Minister for Health from 1975 to 1977.
Additionally, Kyemba served as the State Minister for Animal Industry and Fisheries during the early years of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s government. Dr. James Nsaba Buturo, the representative of Bufumbira East Constituency, who collaborated closely with the late Kyemba during the Constituent Assembly in 1994, emphasized Kyemba’s patriotic and high-integrity life.
However, he noted that these qualities are currently lacking among public servants, posing a risk to the country’s future.
Prof. Elijah Dickens Mushemeza, legislator for Sheema South Constituency, who interacted with Kyemba as a Constituent Assembly delegate, highlighted Kyemba’s respect for authority and trustworthiness. These attributes enabled Kyemba to serve in key positions during the Amin, Obote, and Museveni regimes.
Cecilia Atim Ogwal, a former Constituent Assembly delegate and now the Dokolo District Woman Representative, described Kyemba as truthful and tolerant of people with diverse political affiliations. She contrasted this with present-day politicians who often thrive on dividing the masses.
Naome Kabasharira, a former CA delegate and legislator for Rushenyi County, recalled Kyemba as a Rotarian and diplomat with exceptional etiquette. He introduced her to Rotary clubs, emphasizing service to mankind across Uganda and the East African Community bloc.
Kyemba was a dedicated member of the Rotary International movement, becoming a Rotarian in 1987 as a Charter Member of the Source of the Nile Rotary Club, now located in Jinja City. Under his influence, the Rotary Movement expanded in Uganda to include approximately 400 clubs as of 2023. Uganda is now part of District 9213, which includes Tanzania.
At the time of his passing, Kyemba held the position of Past District Governor (PDG) in Rotary International District 9200, covering Uganda, Kenya, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Tanzania. The District Governor is the highest-ranking office in the Rotary International Movement at the district level, second only to the President of Rotary International, who leads the global movement.
First Deputy Prime Minister Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga moved a motion in the House to pay tribute to the deceased during a special sitting chaired by Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa on Tuesday. President Museveni granted Kyemba a state funeral following his demise. Kyemba received his early education at local primary schools and later attended Busoga College Mwiri for his Cambridge School Certificate (1951–1956).
He pursued higher education at Makerere University from 1957 to 1962, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) in History. Kyemba also held a master’s degree in history from Northwestern University in Evanston, US, and a Certificate in African studies from the same university.
He additionally earned an Honours degree in history from London University. Kyemba will be laid to rest at his ancestral home in Jinja District later today, October 26, 2023.

Another sweltering night here, the kind where the air itself feels like it’s placing bets against you.
I found myself logged into casino again. It’s usually my nighttime escape when the heat finally subsides.
Honestly, lately, the wins have been like finding water in the desert.
My balance is looking precariously small, and I’m starting to sweat
more about the wife finding out than the actual games. She’s been giving me that look, you know?
My so-called ‘mate’ – the one who’s always sticking close,
practically breathing down my neck – he’s always on here too.
And the infuriating thing? He’s constantly hitting it big.
Slots like slot_game_1 and slot_game_2, even that crazy aviator_game where
the plane takes your money and runs. He even brags about his wins on slot_game_3 and slot_game_4.
It’s like this place is rigged in his favor. Makes
you wonder, doesn’t it? Especially with the way he looks at my
wife when she’s not looking. Makes a man paranoid, this heat does.
Despite all that, and maybe it’s just foolish hope, I still find myself drawn to
favorite_slot_game. There’s something about those sweet symbols that keeps me clicking,
even when the numbers aren’t falling my way.
Maybe tonight will be different. Maybe the luck gods will finally
throw me a bone. Or maybe my wife will just throw me out.
Either way, here I am, spinning again at casino.
Pros:
Available 24/7 (perfect for my night owl tendencies)
Wide variety of games (even if some seem to favor certain people)
They do have favorite_slot_game, which I genuinely enjoy
Cons:
My personal luck here has been awful recently
Seeing him win constantly is incredibly frustrating
Starting to seriously impact my real-life budget and relationships
Overall: Divided. It’s a convenient way to pass the long, heated
hours, but my recent experiences and observations are making me
seriously question if it’s worth the risk. Especially with
everything else going on.

Another blistering night here, the kind where the air itself feels like it’s weighing you down. I found myself logged into casino again.
It’s usually my after-dark refuge when the heat finally backs off a little.
Honestly, lately, the wins have been few and far between. My balance is looking precariously small, and I’m
starting to sweat more about the wife finding out than the actual games.
She’s been giving me that look, you know?
My so-called ‘mate’ – the one who’s always hanging about, practically shadowing me
– he’s always on here too. And the infuriating thing?
He’s constantly on a lucky streak. Slots like slot_game_1 and slot_game_2, even that crazy aviator_game where the plane leaves you empty-handed.
He even brags about his wins on slot_game_3 and slot_game_4.
It’s like this place is has a soft spot for
him. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Especially with the way he looks at my wife when she’s not
looking. Makes a man paranoid, this heat does.
Despite all that, and maybe it’s just stubbornness, I still find myself drawn to favorite_slot_game.
