Bagwere cultural institution officials and government have set February 20 as the official burial date of the fallen Ikumbania, Bishop John Chrysostom Weyabire.
Mr Fredrick Koire, the institution’s officer in-charge of protocol, while confirming the date to Sunday Monitor on Friday said the funeral arrangements have been finalised.
“Preparations to accord him a state burial are in high gear. However, the general public should also understand that they will not be allowed to come closer to the casket as we are observing the Covid-19 guidelines,” Mr Koire said.
Mr Koire said the body will on Monday be taken to Pastor Robert Kayanja’s Miracle Centre Church for prayers.
