Ugandans have been urged not to be destructed by the negative energies at their workplace whether by workmates or subordinates since they are at times measures of one’s performance, and finally the road to success.
These were the words of Ven. Andrew Kananura the Kakinga Archdeaconry archdeacon during the retirement thanksgiving of the former Principal Municipal officer Alfred Katabazi after 35 years of dedicated service.
Kananura also urged the congregation to always be grateful to God for what he offers to them whether big or small, and forgive fellows who wrong them in a bid to become heirs of God’s kingdom.
The function was held at Katabazi’s home in Kanyinya Teachers’ Village, Ndorero ward, Southern Division Rukungiri Municipality.
Retired Alfred Katabazi, wife Lydia and the entire family were grateful to the almighty for leading him to serve in different capacities in the Public Service Commission to the end.
