President Museveni yesterday met the family of the late Bazilio Olara-Okello, a significant figure in Uganda’s military history at State House, Entebbe.
The family was led by Mr Dan Kidega, the former Speaker of the East African Legislative Assembly.
Bazilio Olara-Okello (1929 –January 9, 1990) was a Ugandan military officer and one of the commanders of the Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA) that together with the Tanzanian army overthrew president Idi Amin in 1979.
