In Uganda, during the swearing-in ceremony of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda, one man caught the attention of many people present and even viewers around the world, Lt. Col. Machol Lual Akok, the bodyguard of President Salva Kiir Mayardit, President of the Republic of South Sudan. Lt. Col. Machol Lual Akok was on duty, fully committed to ensuring that President Kiir remained safe and secure throughout the ceremony. In the line of duty, his suit was torn while protecting and escorting his leader. What stood out most was his discipline and dedication. Even as some people attempted to distract him by pointing out that his suit had been torn, he remained focused on his responsibility. He did not lose concentration or composure. His attention remained on the safety of the President. His mission was successfully accomplished when President Kiir safely reached the seating area and joined fellow Heads of State and other distinguished leaders. (Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth)
