Dr. Louis Kasekende to Keynote at Launch of Dr. Robin Kibuka’s Transformative Book ‘Building Legacy, Not Inheritance

Kampala’s leadership, economic, and governance circles will witness a significant intellectual event as Dr. Robin Kibuka launches his thought-provoking book Building Legacy, Not Inheritance. The high-profile gathering will feature Dr. Louis Kasekende, Executive Director at MEFMI and former Bank of Uganda Deputy Governor, as keynote speaker alongside other distinguished panelists.

A Meeting of Uganda’s Finest Minds
The event promises to be one of the most impactful discussions on Uganda’s leadership calendar, bringing together transformative leaders to explore themes of legacy, integrity, and purpose-driven governance. Dr. Kasekende, a globally respected economist with experience at the World Bank and African Development Bank, will deliver a keynote address aligning with the book’s core message about values-based leadership in turbulent times.

Distinguished Panel of Thought Leaders
The launch will feature notable speakers including:

• Dr. Peter Kimbowa (PK), CEO Summit Uganda founder and leadership expert
• Anne Nkutu, District Governor D9213 and gender equality advocate
• Owek. Robert Wagwa Nsibirwa, Buganda Kingdom’s Second Deputy Katikkiro
• Jackie Namara Rukare, marketing strategist and CSL Advisory Board Chair

The Book’s Powerful Message
At the heart of the event is Dr. Kibuka, former IMF senior official and leadership mentor, whose book challenges conventional success metrics. “Legacy is the impact you leave on people’s minds…not titles, degrees, or wealth,” he asserts. The book reflects his 32-year global career and offers a leadership blueprint emphasizing humility and service.

Why This Launch Matters
In a pre-launch interview, Dr. Kibuka clarified this isn’t a memoir but “a deep, raw reflection” on conscientious leadership. The economist invites readers to consider: “What lasting value can I give with my privileges—education, career, influence?” The event promises to spark crucial national conversations about ethical leadership and legacy-building.

About Dr. Robin Kibuka
The Ugandan-born economist boasts an impressive career at the IMF and as a leadership mentor. Educated at Yale and Harvard, his work blends professional expertise with cultural roots in Kiganda traditions and Christian values. Beyond economics, he actively mentors emerging leaders and advocates for governance reform.

The launch will attract government officials, corporate leaders, and development partners for what promises to be more than a book celebration—but a national moment of reflection on meaningful leadership.
