He went to Lango College, Lira in the 70s and Bukalasa Agricultural College in 1980. He joined the Uganda Army – UNLA in 1983 as a Cadet Officer. He was later commissioned as Second Lieutenant. During his time of service, he participated in many wars in Uganda.
In 1986 when the NRA/M government came to power, he was arrested, languished in many prisons and finally imprisoned at Luzira maximum security prison in Kampala, Uganda as a political detainee.
In 1989 after release from prison, he escaped and fled to the United Kingdom (UK) where he was granted Political asylum. Through sheer determination and hard work, he pursued further education in the UK and attained a Diploma and a Baccalaureate in Environmental Science, majoring in Integrated Waste Management. He was also awarded with an Associate Membership of the Chartered Institution of Waste Management – Assoc.MCIWM. From 1992 to 2009, he worked with the London Borough of Haringey, North London in various post in the Environmental Service Directorate and his contribution to the service was exemplary and invaluable. He still lives in London but spends time pursuing other interests around the globe.
His journey in pursuit of freedom, dream, personal ambition and aspiration was indeed arduous, excruciating and not for the faint-hearted. – Just read the Memoir!ver menos
