Former Minister of Education and promoter of girl child education, Joyce Mpanga will be accorded a three-gun salute.

This is contained in President Yoweri Museveni's speech read for him by the Minister of State for ICT and National Guidance, Joyce Sebugwawo.

Sebugwawo added that to ensure that all the above are fulfilled, a committee, chaired by the minister for the Presidency, Milly Babalanda will oversee all the government commitments.

She made the revelation on Wednesday during prayers for the deceased, at Namirembe Cathedral. The President hailed Mrs. Mpanga for his contribution to the public service sector, and the country through different activities she was engaged in.

David Mpanga, the son of the late, said that prayers preceding burial will start at 11:00 at her ancestral home in Maya and burial at 2:00pm on Thursday.
