Asiimwe showed concern on how the public hesitate looking after the patients when they are still alive and rush for making burial arrangements. He applauded the role played by the Kabale Lc5 who paid attention to her life and all the Medical bills. He Urged Christians to believe in Christ if they are to prepare themselves for the kingdom of God. He however showed concern on how earthly things have made Christians forget Jesus Christ.

The kabale Municipality Member of Parliament Hon. Dr Nicholas Thaddeus Kamara, who doubles as Chairperson of the Parliamentary forum on Non communicable diseases said that, the Government has put much emphasis on communicable diseases such as Malaria, AIDS among others leaving Non Communicable Diseases claiming life among the Natives

Dr. Kamara added that the majority of Uganda’s are dying of Cancer, Hypertension, Diabetes and heart attack. He urged the Donors and the public to start raising their voices against None Communicable diseases and once the donors embrace it, life starts getting saved. “We are going to die if no serious action is taken,” Kamara added. The legislator tasked the government to invest much in none communicable diseases which have become a threat to Ugandans.

Kabale District Lc5 Chairperson Nelson Nshangabasheija showed concern about how people love the dead more than those who are still alive. He thanked whoever has contributed to save her cousin sister and urged the public to assist the patients when they are still alive irrespective of sex and Nationality.

Nshangabasheija, said that it’s unfortunate that people have billions of money sitting in their bank account but they can’t even buy a bottle of soda for the sick patients. “The late has died not because she lacked care but on God’s Decision.” he added. He pledged to look after the orphans.

In the attendance were; Chairman LC5 Kisoro District, Abel Bizimana, Mbabazi Robert Kakwerere Chairman LC5 Rukiga District, Ampaire Steven Kasyaba chairman LC5 Rubanda, Kigezi Regional Police commander, Kabale District Police commander, 31th Battalion UPDFCommander, Chairman LCIII Central and Northern Division among others.
