Padhola mourns sudden death of Kingdom Finance Minister



The Jopadhola in Tororo are mourning the sudden death on Christmas eve of the Tieng Adhola Cultural Institution (TACI) 3rd Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Planning and Development.

Vincent Okoth Ogolla Mboti, an elder brother of Inspector General of Police JM Okoth Ochola, passed away at Iran-Uganda hospital, Naguru on December 24. Details of the cause of his death have not been shared yet, but he had been ill for months before, friends say.

"The leadership of Padhola, and it's subjects led by His Royal Highness Moses Steven Owor have learnt with profound shock and grief of the untimely death of one of it's illustrious son the late Vincent Okoth Ogolla Mboti," said Jago (Prime Minister) Obbo Richard Josel in a special message.

He added that the deceased was a "founder Cabinet member of Tieng Adhola Cultural Institution, rising to the rank of 3rd Deputy Prime Minster and Minister of Finance, Planning and Development, where he championed among many other projects of Tieng Adhola the construction of the Palace and the Tororo Broadcasting Network(TBN) which will soon be on air.  We share and stand in deep sorrow with the bereaved family. We shall dearly miss him."

There was a requiem mass Saturday at St. Paul's Church Mukono for Mboti, the former University Secretary of Gulu University and a leading Rotarian.

"Mboti was a big tree in the forest of Padhola and Uganda as a whole that many birds nested in while many other organisms took shelter from and yet many others who couldnt afford their own stems climbed through to reach the much needed sunshine to support themselves in making their livelihoods," Chombo said on facebook

Mboti will be buried on Monday 28/12/2020 at Abel, Mulanda Sub County, Tororo.
