Kiriggwajjo was a Monyoro from Kyaka County in Toro. He was of the Basiita descent belonging to the bush-buck clan. His parents are unknown.

He was captured by the raiding Baganda at the age of 16 and taken to a chief known as Kisomose. It was Kisomese who took him to the palace of the King Muteesa I to serve as a page.

Kiriggwajjo served mainly in the Twekobe (King’s House) under Joseph Mukasa Balikuddembe and he was a skilled hunter and a good herdsman who had keen interest in both of these skills and who used his talents whenever he had chance.

He took up catholic instruction given by these two. Kiriggwajjo was a very strong and pious catholic. During King Mwanga’s reign, Kiriggwajjo served in the audience hall. The King loved him and promoted him to a post of Caring for his wives’ rooms and commodities form outside.

Anatoli found out that the post would destroy his beloved virtue of chastity. He thus dared to decline the post though he was sure it would result into the loss of his life. But this time though the King got very annoyed, he did not order for his death.

When the Christian persecution broke out, the King signed him out and said “This Munyoro page, refused the post I gave him, thus despising me”.

Anatoli was burnt to death at Namugongo on 3^rd June, 1886. He is the patron of hunters and herdsmen.
