KAMPALA: Uganda Human Rights Commission Commissioner Crispin Kaheru attended Monday evening’s launch of My Father and I: The Power of Intentional Fatherhood, a memoir authored by Col. Edith Nakalema, Head of the State House Investors Protection Unit, at Protea Hotel Kampala.
The event positioned personal narrative as public advocacy, with Nakalema using the platform to call for deliberate parental engagement.
“If my story can inspire even one father to give his children the priceless gift of intentional presence, then my father’s legacy of upholding godly values and dedicated service to humanity will live on,” Nakalema told the audience.
Kaheru’s presence underscored the intersection of governance, rights and social values. As a UHRC Commissioner, he has consistently linked human dignity to family stability and community accountability. His attendance signaled institutional support for initiatives that promote responsible citizenship beyond legal frameworks.
Retired Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Henry Luke Orombi, delivered the keynote sermon, charging parents to “bring a good name to your family.” The service was also attended by the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, His Grace Dr. Stephen Kazimba Mugalu, and the Bishop of Ankole Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dr. Sheldon Mwesigwa, alongside government and civil society leaders.
In a philanthropic announcement, Nakalema said proceeds from the book will fund the completion of All Saints Cathedral, Kanyeganyegye, in Kashari, Mbarara District.
The launch framed fatherhood as a civic responsibility, with speakers arguing that intentional presence in the home translates directly into ethical leadership, social cohesion and national development.
