Bulambuli: Nathan Nandala Mafabi, the Chairman of the Bugisu Cooperative Union, has called on leaders and stakeholders in Bugisu to prioritize unity as a fundamental driver of the region’s development.
Nandala made this appeal during the burial of Captain Bill Israel Munyifu, a former pilot in the Office of the President and son of the late Richard Kanindo Masaba, former Mayor of Mbale Municipality. The ceremony was held on Saturday afternoon in Bulambuli District.
As the Member of Parliament for Budadiri West, Nandala expressed concern over the ongoing disunity in the region, which he attributed to the behavior of leaders.
He urged senior leaders from Bugisu to take the lead in uniting the local population, emphasizing that true development can only occur when minor differences are set aside. “Other regions are progressing because they focus on development and overlook minor issues. We must learn from them,” he remarked.
Mike Mukula, the NRM Vice Chairman for the Eastern Region, praised the late Munyifu as a dedicated member of the NRM, describing him as honest, punctual, and intelligent. He encouraged young people to emulate Munyifu’s exemplary qualities.
Munyifu, born in 1987, was circumcised in 1996 and pursued his education at Kyambogo University, the East African Civil Aviation Academy in Soroti, Sunrise Aviation in Florida, and Pilot Training Johannesburg, among other institutions. He passed away from high blood pressure on December 27, 2024.
