About Me

My main responsibilities include reviewing and updating the Parliamentary Strategic Plan (PSP), compilation of Quarterly and Annual Work plans for Parliamentary Committees and departments, Monitoring and Evaluation of the Performance of the institution of Parliament, serving as the focal point person linking Parliament to all national, regional and global Planning institutions and frameworks to ensure that the PSP is fully harmonized and aligned to the  Uganda Vision 2040, the National Development Plans (NDPs) as well as to the AU Agenda 2063- “The Africa we Want” and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). My key responsibilities in supervising the implementation  of the PSP include, but are not limited to:  Resource mobilization for parliamentary strengthening and development; human and institutional Capacity Building for Members of Parliament and staff; strengthening linkages between Parliament and the National Planning Authority, Local Governments, Civil society organizations and other stakeholders as well as coordinating the utilization and accountability for all development partners’ support on behalf of the Parliamentary Commission.

In the last twelve years, I have coordinated and managed large multi-dollar programmes funded by UNDP, European Union, USAID, AWEPA and basket funds jointly funded by the World Bank and the Governments of UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, Ireland and Germany. These funds were used for parliamentary strengthening activities.

In 2017, I formulated the first Governance Manual for the Parliamentary Commission.

I am currently the Chairman of the Contracts Management Committees for two large on-going projects for the Parliamentary Commission, namely:

This Planning Mission’s objective was to study and recommend “strategies to improve living conditions of the rural poor in Kenya through increased access to energy”. The assignment was successfully concluded in record time by November, 2004.
