This is the written account of Lt Gen Bazilio’s life, as narrated to RLP by Dr Obonyo Henry, a friend of the deceased and also a former Minister of Health in Uganda.
The National Memory and Peace Documentation Center (NMPDC) on February 14th 2015 documented a historic event: the body of Lt. General Bazilio Olara Okello, a former National Liberation Army commander and a key player in Uganda’s immediate post-independence political and military scene, was flown back to Uganda and re-buried in his ancestral home of Madi Opei, Lamwo District, Northern Uganda.
