Uganda: Kasaija Hands Over Finance Ministry After 15 Years

Veteran politician Matia Kasaija has officially handed over the leadership of the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development after 15 years at its helm, bringing to a close a tenure that shaped Uganda's fiscal policy and economic management through periods of growth, reform and economic uncertainty.

Kasaija formally transferred office to Henry Musasizi, who previously served as Minister of State for General Duties in the same ministry and now assumes responsibility for one of the country's most influential government portfolios.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, Kasaija pledged to remain available to support the ministry and government whenever his experience is required.
