It was 2020 when Kato Lubwama fell ill and was admitted to a hospital in Kololo. He received very many visitors and most of them were friends and well wishers who wanted to show support to him through the difficult phase he was passing through. Among the people that went to visit the deceased Kato Lubwama in the hospital was famous motor mouthed Frank Gashumba. As a concerned friend, Frank visited the Late Kato Lubwama during his time of need.
Following the demise of Kato Lubwama. His vigil was flocked by very many people, many of whom only remembered to show support when the politician had already met his death. According to Frank Gashumba. This is the worst form of hypocrisy and he wishes that Ugandans change this about themselves.
Frank came out and mentioned that Ugandans need to learn to show love to people when they are still alive rather than wait for them to die and show them unconditional and unwavering love.
“I would like to address my fellow Ugandans and implore you to embrace the practice of expressing love and support to individuals while they are still alive. It is crucial to extend our care and concern towards our friends who find themselves in hospital beds. When we become aware of the challenges they face, let us be present for them, offering our unwavering support.” He said
Frank made it clear that people should also say kind words about others while they are still alive to hear all this rather than say kind words when they have already died and can not hear a word. He also encouraged Ugandans to visit people when they are alive rather than visit their graves.
“Instead of waiting until it is too late and speaking kind words only in retrospect, let us display affection and appreciation to our loved ones while they can still hear us and feel our gestures. We should make a point of visiting people in their homes, reaching out to them with phone calls to express gratitude for the meaningful relationships we share.” He continued
According to Gashumba, he would rather hear good things about himself while he is still alive hence he urged everyone that has something nice to say about him not to wait until his death but rather give him a phone call to appreciate him while he still lives.
If you profess to love me, Gashumba, please do not wait until I am gone to express it. Call me now and extend your thanks, leave a heartfelt message on my social media platform, offer a bottle of wine or champagne, or treat me to a delightful meal such as chicken Luwombo, allowing me to savor each spoonful. May Kato Lubwama rest in peace.” He said.
