The Undersecretary and Accounting Officer at the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Dr. Sengonzi Damulira, has been recognised as Uganda’s Public Finance Management Champion in recognition of his contribution to strengthening the country’s public financial management systems and advancing national development.
The accolade was presented by Public Opinions as part of its Responsible Investment Global Award, an initiative that recognises individuals whose work has made a significant contribution to Uganda’s socio-economic transformation.
According to Public Opinions, the award acknowledges Dr. Sengonzi’s exemplary public service, commitment to accountability, and dedication to implementing government programmes aimed at improving the lives of Ugandans.
While presenting the award, Public Opinions Team Leader Buyinza Adam Luzindana described Dr. Sengonzi as a committed public servant whose leadership has played a key role in advancing the country’s development agenda.
He praised the Finance Ministry official for what he termed unwavering loyalty to President Yoweri Museveni and a strong commitment to achieving Uganda’s national development objectives.

Receiving the award, Dr. Sengonzi expressed gratitude for the recognition, describing it as an encouragement to continue serving the country with diligence and integrity.
He reaffirmed his commitment to executing his responsibilities faithfully and ensuring that public resources are managed efficiently for the benefit of all Ugandans.
