Serving police officers have been urged to emulate John Kisembo, the former Inspector General of Police-IGP Who passed on mid this week.
The call was made by Internal Affairs Minister Gen. Jeje Odongo who said Kisembo was a highly professional officer who mentored and attracted many people to join and serve in the police force, where he also took on a role as a strong advocate for peace.
The minister was addressing mourners at the deceased’s ancestral home in Kitema Village, Kagadi district where he was laid to rest this evening. Kisembo succumbed to lung cancer.
According to Gen. Odongo, apart from being hardworking and dedicated, Kisembo related well with everyone in the force; he knew his subordinate staff and shared their challenges and opportunities.
Hon. Matia Kasaija Finance Minister also told mourners that Kisembo never tolerated corruption during his service in the Police force and maintained a clean record even after his tenure at the helm.
Stephen Mfashingabo Kagadi District Chairperson says the late Kisembo was a role model in the district and through the Kingdom of Bunyoro where he promoted and supported several business communities.
Kisembo is survived by 17 children .
