Samson Kisekka

After Buddo, he gained another scholarship, this time for six years to study medicine at the Makerere University Medical School and became a respected doctor.

He was a First Class Scholar, Administrator, and an ardent sportsman as he was part of the "first eleven" team footballer (representing Uganda Vs Kenya) winning the Archer all round prize for the best all rounder at Makerere University in December 1935.

During his fourteen years stay in the Uganda Civil Service (from 1939 through 1953), he played a strategic role in fighting for recognition of African Physicians.

During the period from 1981 to 1986 and the years before that were characterized by political turmoil and instability, he went into exile due to government reprisals and persecution because of his outspokenness against what he considered wrong.

After becoming an ally of Yoweri Museveni, he served as an international spokesman for his rebel group, the National Resistance Movement.

He considered himself under debt to the community whose tax payments had provided the scholarships for his studies at secondary school and university.

The time-conscious, responsible celebrity who could never tolerate punctuality being defeated, Dr. Kisekka was a model personality and a grand source of inspiration to both young and old.

[3] He was an ardent member and an elder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church[3] and a very religious man, was Director of Uganda YMCA for a period of ten years from 1965 through 1975.
