His formative years were spent at Nyakibale Missionary School, from where he proceeded to Kigezi College, Butobere, a government boarding secondary school in Kabale. He entered Makerere University, Kampala during Uganda’s tumultuous period under dictator Idi Amin, and witnessed, as the country, once known as the ＂Pearl of Africa,＂ degenerated to parallel Pol Pot’s killing fields in Cambodia.
