“I am deeply saddened by the news this morning of the passing away of Prof. Emmanuel Tumusiime Mutebile.

I am particularly grateful for his welcoming me into the community of East African Central Bank Governors, and I cannot forget the many courtesies he extended to me.” Dr.Njoroge condoled.

He added, “Pro. Tumusiime served as chair of the Monetary Affairs Committee (MAC) of the East African Community in 2017 and 2018, and ably led our discussions. As the current Chair of MAC, I also extend my heartfelt sympathisies of my fellow Eat African Central Bank Governors. We will miss his wise counsel, experience and gentle humour.”

Prof.Emmanuel Tumusiime Mutebile, has died this Sunday at around 5am, at Nairobi Hospital in Nairobi, kenya where he has been battling illnesses.

He was the longest serving chief executive in the history of Bank of Uganda.

Two weeks ago, he was rushed to Nakaseero hospital for emergency attention after he allegedly collapsed at his home, but, the Central Bank dismissed news of the Governor’s collapse arguing that he had suffered from diabetic complications.

He was later referred to a hospital in Nairobi Kenya, where he has been pronounced dead by family members.
State Minister of ICT, Godfrey Kabyanga tweeted, “I am saddened by the news of the passing on of our gallant Elder Prof. Emmanuel Mutebile who has also been the Governor @BOU-Official, a distinguished scholar and Rotarian,”

He added, “My deepest sympathies to the Board of BOU, its staff, the family and the rotary fraternity,”

Born on January 27, 1949, Mutebile has died at the age of 72, just three days to mark his 73rd Birthday.

He has served as Governor and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bank of Uganda since 2001 to date.
