Oketta’s final moments alive

KAMPALA - Parliament will today hold a special sitting to honour former legislator Maj. Gen. Dr Julius Oketta, the deputy chairman of the Operation Wealth Creation, who died Saturday.

The widow, Stella Oketta, has revealed her husband’s final moments alive. She told New Vision the army man had been healthy and strong until early Saturday.

“On Friday, he came back home at about 7:00pm. He greeted us, said his prayers and joined us at the dining table for tea.

“He later watched news on TV, up to around 10:00pm. He then told me that he had watched the news he wanted and went to sleep,” she said.

“I told him that I wanted to first read something and he said it was okay. At about 2:00am, I went to bed. Moments later, he woke up, held my hands tightly and I realised that he was unwell. I telephoned his sister and told her that the general was not feeling well.”
