A personal account of gratitude and admiration for Hon. Mary K.Goodmorning Okurut’s intervention in a life-changing situation.
In October 2020, during a heated political season, the author found himself in a precarious situation. After sharing information about alleged irregularities at Crane Radio, where Hon. Mary K. Okurut was rumored to have ties, the radio manager lodged a case of computer harassment against him. The author was summoned to Bushenyi Police Station, interrogated, and subsequently arrested.
With the help of friends, including Rwakataka, Hon. Mary K. Okurut was informed of the author’s plight. She allegedly intervened, calling the District Police Commander (DPC) to secure the author’s release. On October 7th, the author was called from the cells to the DPC’s office and released unconditionally, thanks to Hon. Mary K. Okurut’s influence.
The author reflects on this experience, expressing deep gratitude and admiration for Hon. Mary K. Okurut’s kindness and humanity. Even in death, the author honors her memory, acknowledging the impact she had on his life.
End.
