News reaching the Sonko News desk indicates that the Bank Of Uganda governor Emmanuel Tumusiime Mutebile has died.
According to a source, Emmanuel Tumusiime Mutebile passed on this morning at Nairobi Hospital where he has battled illness for a long time.
The veteran man within the neighboring country was until his death a Ugandan economist and banker. He has been the governor of the Bank of Uganda, the central bank of Uganda.
He was first appointed to that position on 1 January 2001 and was re-appointed for a second five-year term on 1 January 2006.
Senior journalist Andrew Mwenda posted “Emmanuel Tumusiime Mutebile, this great architect of Uganda’s economic recovery, this titan of our banking industry, this intelligent, magnanimous and generous soul, this friend of all and enemy of no one, rested this morning at 5.30am. RIP my friend! You have been a true giant!

The late Mutebile has been in and out of the hospital in the recent years. A few weeks ago, he was rushed to Nakasero hospital in Kampala in a critical condition. He would later be transferred to Kenya’s Nairobi hospital for emergency attention.
The late Emmanuel Tumusiime Mutebile is credited with a number of sound economic policies adopted by the Republic of Uganda during the 1990s and 2000s.
At some point, he was forced to run away from Ugamda after he took a swipe at former President Idi Amin Dada for discriminating against the Asian people.
