He dressed elegantly and lived a flamboyant life.
Born Anthony Geoffrey Genmungu Kerali, the boy from Erussi in Nebbi District grew into a trailblazing engineering professional, consultant, academic and golfer.
He lived at Plot 1, Prince Charles Drive in Kololo, Kampala’s upscale neighbourhood, where he died abruptly on February 18 of a still unknown cause.
As fate would have it, one of his last tweets was cryptic; a recollection of a question by a retired judge on why only three northerners can presently afford to live in Kololo.

This forced him and the two housemaids to knock on his bedroom door at bout 3:30 pm, but there was no response. He says that they forced the door open only to find him dead in his bed. Less than 24 hours before his death, Kerali spurred a social media debate when he tweeted: Someone at the golf club asked me an intriguing question. A former Justice of the Supreme Court.
