Sheema North MP Dr. Eryodi Tumwesigye announced the leaders’ appeal on Friday at Katabarwa’s family re-union at Kabwohe, Kagango in Bushenyi.
“The late Katabarwa was a peace envoy who deserves a monument,†Tumwesigye said, recalling that Katabarwa was brutally killed in 1984 by the late Paul Muwanga’s UPC regime, when he entered Uganda to negotiate for peace.
