LIFE HISTORY OF MY FATHER MR. NABOTH ONYANGO PAULO

My father continued to hold this position up to 26th August 1984 when he got an accident with his own motor-bike in the evening while driving in high speed along the main road that runs from Musoma to Tarime. He was coming from Kowak village from where he went to attend a funeral of a child that belonged to his in-laws’ family. As he was driving in high speed along the corrugated road towards Buganjo village, he stamped a hard object as he approached a steep in the middle of the road and lost control and consequently he veered off the road and fell down unconsciously. While he was struggling with much pain he sustained on his back, he was picked up by good Samaritans in another car which was coming behind him, the driver, having known him helped to take him to the hospital quickly. They also took his motorbike which they left at a police station from where they also took a Police Form NO: 3, known as PF3 for medical treatment.

The Anglican church choir team were all the time entertaining the mourners and visitors who came for the burial.

Time for burial arrived, the Anglican Pastor Manasse Marwa was among the four pastors who came along to join a requiem mass, he is seen leading a procession.
