Yesterday, I delivered H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni's condolence message at the funeral of the former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Uganda, Mr. Perezi Tenywa Bukhumune, at Ibulanku, Bugweri District.
H.E. the President was saddened to learn of the death of the former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Uganda, Mr. Perezi Tenywa Bukhumune. On behalf of the government and himself, the President conveyed his heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family of the late, friends, and all Ugandans.
H.E. President @KagutaMuseveni noted that the late was part of the team of patriots at the Bank of Uganda who supported the NRM's economic reforms after the victory of 1986. These reforms led to the stabilization of Uganda's economy by ensuring price stability, restoration of the production capacity of the economy, and rehabilitation of the economic and social infrastructure as well as maintaining fiscal discipline.
His Excellency paid tribute to the late on his patriotic contributions to the socio-economic transformation of Uganda while serving as Deputy governor and in other capacities.
The President commiserated with the bereaved family and prayed for the deceased's soul to rest in eternal peace.
For God and my country.
Happy 78th Birthday 🥂🎂
