(Dr.) Kabaka was a person, who even when unwell, still had coffee here and there. He was full of life. It was very disturbing to receive a call on 4th December, 2020 that he was unwell. I am still very traumatized because I had to do a lot of organization through the Parliament to get Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka checked. Madam Temporary Speaker, I was told about his diagnosis of excessive bleeding at 6.00 a.m. on that day. Although I wanted to disclose to all you Members what had befallen Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, I really restrained myself. As a result, I really suffered with that information. Therefore, just to find him immobile at the hospital was more traumatizing. I met Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka in 2009 in Kabaa, where I went to pick my lovely wife, Anita, where she comes from. I have known him and he used to call me his in-law, in Kikamba “ athoni .” For Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka and his largeness of life to be reduced into a coffin tomorrow is something that will be very traumatizing to me. That great man with great humour, who used to sit behind us here; it is a tragedy. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to remind you, Members, that in the end as politicians, we are all human beings; let us be friends. Let us know one another. May his soul rest in peace. Thank you."}
