Just a simple request wherever you go and whatever you do remember CEES. If you happen to have a function whether in good or bad times let's know. Personally I have a big debt to pay. Let's pray that you get a better and more rewarding office. God bless you”
Assoc. Prof. Muyinda Paul said in his own words that “Henry, I worked with you as a Faculty, Head of Department, Dean, Deputy Principal, Project Coordinator and Friend. In all these my capacities you proved to be a resourceful person. To me I won't say CEES will miss you. You are still with us. CEES will still continue interfacing with you wherever you go but in a different capacity. The brotherly relationship developed while in CEES premises should continue in the new premises you are relocating to. As Nazarius has said, we all owe you in social matters. Do not hesitate to give us a shout whenever, a social event arises. Keep your usual positive attitude to work that I have found in you wherever you go.”
