28-year-old Brenda Omuntu Katiti, the cashier at Barclay’s bank Katwe who died in Kampala flooded streets on Wednesday has been described as a hard working lady who kept her work neat.

The deceased and the boda-boda cyclist, who was carrying her, were swept way into Nakivubo Channel during a heavy downpour.

Katiti, who hails from Kashonzi village in Kiruhura district, had been working with the bank for about three years, according to sources at the bank that preferred anonymity.

She was transferred to Katwe in May 2010. Another colleague Doreen Nalongo, described her as social, friendly and always smiling.

Katiti, who resided in Bukoto-Kisaasi, a Kampala suburb was single.

According to Dorah Kaburrunga, her aunt
Kaburrunga, the deceased had no brother or sister. Her parents had passed away.

She added that in Kampala, the deceased had distant relatives in cousins, nieces, uncles and aunties who were taking care of her during times of need.

“The news that my niece had died came to us shockingly and most of us could not believe it until we saw her lying in the Mortuary yesterday (Wednesday).

News of her death is not just saddening, but also puzzling. May her soul rest in peace,” Kaburrunga told journalists who had visited the deceased’s home in Bukoto-Kisasi.

A requiem mass will be held at All Saints Church Cathedral, Nakasero in Kampala today. Burial is slated for tomorrow at Kashonzi village in Kiruhura district.
