I join the people of Teso, and the entire country to mourn the death of the Teso cultural leader, His Highness Emorimor Papa Osuban Augustine Lemukol. The Emorimor was a great advocate of peace and unity, his devotion to preaching about moral and cultural values was paramount.

I, therefore, in the great memory of Emorimor Papa Augustine Lemukol, declare an Official Burial. My condolences to the Teso Kingdom, relatives, and well-wishers. May God grant his soul eternal repose.
