The late was commissioned to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant on 29 May 2002 and served in various capacities until 2022, his promotion to the rank of Brig Gen, which he served until his untimely death.

The Chief of Staff-Air Force, Brig Gen David Gonyi, on behalf of the Commander of Air Force, said that the army, just like the family of Brig Gen Kiggundu, will not forget this tragic loss, and his memory will live on in the hearts and minds of the people he touched.

The Late Brig Gen Stephen Kiggundu was accorded the 11-gun salute.

In attendance were Generals, Senior Officers of the UPDF, representatives from the Ministry of Defence And Veteran Affairs, clergy, and politicians, among others.
