Pader district has launched the construction of Lt. Gen Paul Lokech Memorial Hospital.
The launch coincided with the first memorial prayers for the late former Deputy Inspector General of police organized by the district.

Samuel Akena, the Organising Committee Secretary for the Memorial Prayer, says that they conceived the plan to build a hospital in honor of Lokech after his death because of his long-term desire to improve the health care system in the district.

The Memorial Hospital estimated to cost Shillings 2.9 billion, will be built with funds raised from friends, well-wishers and locals.
