Business came to a standstill
yesterday evening in Fort Portal town as hundreds of people jammed the streets
to receive the body of the departed Managing Director of the KALITA busy
company the late Lucky Patrick Atwooki.
People from all walks of life that
included business community, special hire drivers, boda boda riders, religious,
cultural and district leaders were in tears along the roads as the casket
carrying Lucky’s body arrived.
The procession of mourners started
from Mogas petrol station East division taking a four kilometer walk from the
centre of Fort Portal to St. John’s cathedral where a requiem service was held.
In his sermon, Rev. Ezra Musobozi
the sub dean Rwenzori diocese argued the mourners to invest their wealth in
people especially the needy so as to inherit the kingdom of God and to work
hard and love their jobs to get good returns.
Reverend Musobozi described late
Lucky as someone who had invested in the people of Tooro through the transport
sector where hundreds of people have benefited.

Tooro kingdom said Uganda and Tooro have lost an important person who had
become a change agent and employer of many people in transport sector, construction
