In a defining moment for Uganda’s leadership and intellectual community, Dr. Robin Kibuka will launch his much-anticipated book Building Legacy, Not Inheritance on April 30, 2025, at Four Points by Sheraton, Kampala.
Headlining the event is keynote speaker Dr. Louis Kasekende—renowned economist and Executive Director at MEFMI, best known for his tenure as Deputy Governor of the Bank of Uganda.
This gathering is far more than a book launch—it is a national call to reflect on the deeper purpose of leadership in Uganda. Dr. Kasekende’s keynote will anchor the evening with sharp insights drawn from decades in global finance, including his work with the World Bank and African Development Bank.
His voice adds weight to a growing conversation around ethical leadership and the long-term value of service.
The launch features a power-packed lineup. Dr. Peter Kimbowa, founder of CEO Summit Uganda and a respected leadership strategist, will offer commentary rooted in organizational transformation.
Anne Nkutu, a District Governor and gender justice advocate, adds a crucial voice on inclusivity and ethical governance.
Also speaking is Owek. Robert Wagwa Nsibirwa, Second Deputy Katikkiro of Buganda, who brings a unique blend of tradition and innovation to the panel.
And with her branding expertise, Mrs. Jackie Namara Rukare will guide the program, highlighting the intersection of legacy and narrative.
At the heart of it all is Dr. Robin Kibuka himself—an economist, mentor, and now author. After 32 years at the International Monetary Fund and a decade influencing Uganda’s corporate landscape, Kibuka shares not just a professional journey, but a blueprint for values-driven living.
His message? Legacy isn’t about wealth—it’s about the small, intentional steps we take every day.
“I didn’t want to write a memoir,” Kibuka explains. “This is a reflection—raw, honest, and rooted in the question: what is the lasting value I can offer?”
Drawing from his upbringing grounded in Kiganda and Christian traditions, and education at Yale and Harvard, Kibuka urges readers to look beyond titles.
“You begin to wonder,” he says, “What will they say about me when I’m gone? What story will they tell—not just in boardrooms, but in homes and on the streets?”
His book is a stirring call to CEOs, students, public servants, and emerging leaders to serve with empathy, listen with intent, and lead with integrity.
“Legacy is in how you treat people—your boda rider, your office cleaner. That’s where impact begins.”
Tickets for the launch are UGX 250,000 and include a copy of the book. The event, hosted by CEO Summit Uganda, runs from 4 PM to 8 PM. Attendees will leave not just with a book, but with a renewed sense of purpose.
Dr. Kibuka’s message is clear: “Legacy is not for you to define—it’s what others feel after you’ve gone. So build it deliberately, and daily.”
This is more than a book—it’s a movement. And April 30 will be a night to remember.
