While preaching to Christians who had turned up for the commemoration mass at McCauley hall Virika in Fort Portal city, the Bishop of Fort Portal diocese Rt. Rev. Dr. Robert Muhiirwa described the late Bishop Magambo a person who was prayerful, hard working, a person who had strong faith though he passed through hard times battling with sickness among others.
Bishop Muhiirwa, who made his first public appearance following his two months sick leave, asked the Christians to emulate Bishop Magambo’s good example and put into practice what he used to teach.
