I am deeply saddened by the passing of the Bank of Uganda Governor Emmanuel Tumusiime Mutebile.

Mutebile was an exceptional economist; a humble servant whose acumen and perspectives on economic matters were singular.

He will be remembered for steering the economy of our country through a strong tide. My heartfelt condolences to the family, and all his relations. May God grant his soul eternal rest.
