“The late Kategaya has been friendly, calm and I have never had him in any clash in politics. I have been interacting with him , he has been good all the time. We are going to miss him as NRM party because he has been available to serve the party in all circumstances. He has also been moving EAC Affairs maturely” The minister noted

“He has been exemplary and he has never involved in any corrupt scandal because he has been incorruptible,” She added

Mean while Nwoya district women MP Lilly Adong says that; Uganda is going to miss Kategaya dearly. “He has been a great leader who used to inspire others and he used to guide people most especially the young politicians. We are going to miss him because he was fit to replace Mr. Museveni as the president of this country”Hon Adong said
