President Yoweri Museveni has paid tribute to Professor George Kanyeihamba, praising him for championing the politics of interests over identity.
“He was one of the contributors to the struggle who emphasised the politics of interests over identity,” said President Museveni, who today passed by the former Attorney General’s home in Bugiza to commiserate with his family.
“I, therefore, salute his contributions and valued input. I extend the condolences of the NRM and my family.”
The President said he was happy to see the resurrection of the Professor through his children and grandchildren.
“We, the people of this area, received a new idea with the arrival of Christianity: that when we die, we go to heaven. Before that concept, our belief was in eternity through our children,” the President said.
“I was happy to see the resurrection through the children and grandchildren that Kanyeihamba has left behind.”
Professor George William Kanyeihamba, passed away on July 14, 2025.
