Bobi eulogizes lawyer Wameli

Speaking at the ceremony held at Makerere Kavule yesterday, NUP principal, Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine described the party’s former head of legal team as a rare, self-driven, passionate lawyer, friend and a God-fearing father who worked selflessly to witness rule of law in the country.

“Counsel Wameli has played his part; he stood in for the ones everyone think deserve no justice like Jamil Mukulu. When our comrades were arrested or abducted during campaigns, brother Wameli tirelessly worked to secure their justice and many were released because of his efforts,” Mr Kyagulanyi said.

He added: “Just like many other friends and government officials, our brother died while on a medical tour, not because he was rich but simply because the NRM regime has failed almost all the hospitals in this country, and we continue to demand for better services.”

While eulogising his fellow departed learned friend, Kampala Lord Mayor, Mr Erias Lukwago said: “Lawyers are known to be expensive and I am a lawyer, but this was not a case with Wameli; he literally served for justice and passion. Money was never his priority in delivering his service, rest in peace Wameli.” 

Wameli will be laid to rest tomorrow at his ancestral home in Namisindwa district, Eastern Uganda. His body has been prayed for at Revived Christian Church in Kyebando where he has been serving as a pastor in the final moments of his life.
