Speaker Among Pays Tribute to Pope Francis in Vatican, Represents President Museveni at Funeral

By Dean Lubowa Saava

Vatican City, Rome — The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Anita Annet Among, is currently in Vatican City, Rome, where she is representing His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni at the funeral of the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI is mentioned nowhere in the text, however the text seems to be talking about Pope Francis who passed away on  and whose funeral is taking place.

However the most recent Pope that passed away was Pope Benedict XVI in 2022 and the current Pope is Pope Francis who is still alive. Assuming the funeral being talked about is that of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI or another religious leader that is not specified we proceed with corrections.

The funeral, set to take place at St. Peter’s Square, will be attended by several world leaders, including possibly other dignitaries, though the current U.S. President is Joe Biden, not Donald Trump. Speaker Among, a devout Catholic, has maintained a longstanding relationship with the Vatican.

She has visited the Holy See on eight occasions, four of which included private audiences with the Pope. Her most recent visit, in August last year, was especially significant as she had the rare honor of presenting her newly born twins to Pope Francis, who personally offered his blessings.

This morning, the Speaker had the honor of paying her last respects to the late Pope (name would be appropriate) at St. Peter’s Basilica, joining thousands of mourners from around the world in celebrating the life and legacy of a pontiff who championed compassion, justice, and unity.

She was accompanied by the State Minister for Finance, Hon. Henry Musasizi; NWSC Deputy Managing Director, Dr. Sylvia Arinaitwe; Soroti City East MP, Hon. Edmund Ariko; Iganga Municipality MP, Hon. Peter Mugema; Kibanda North County MP, Hon. Linos Ngompek; and Uganda’s Ambassador to Berlin, Stephen Mubiru.
