Height gave Francis Onapito Ekomoloit a commanding presence in life. He was a giant of physique and brain power.
Fondly called Ona, he had eclipsed his cohort at Makerere University and, in 1991, won the coveted Best Journalism Student award then sponsored by Spear Motors Ltd, a local Mercedes Benz franchise.

He catapulted to a legislator and presidential spokesman at a young age and resigned, rather than wait to be sacked and fizzle out, before plunging into executive corporate leadership.
The man proudly from Wera in Amuria District in the eastern Teso Sub-region harnessed the residual power and networks of various offices he had held, to buttress his usefulness in spaces where he arrived a doubted newcomer.
