Celebrating Legacy: Retirement Of Deborah Katuramu

On Monday, President Museveni, accompanied by First Lady Janet Kataaha Museveni, presided over a heartfelt retirement ceremony for Deputy Head of Public Service, Deborah Katuramu, during a cabinet meeting held at State House Entebbe.

This significant occasion marked Katuramu’s final appearance at the Cabinet.

In recognition of her outstanding, corruption-free service, President Museveni praised Katuramu’s exemplary record and presented her with a presidential award as a token of appreciation.

He stated, “I have not heard anything about her being involved in corruption,” as he wished her a fulfilling retirement.

Katuramu’s career spanned an impressive 49 years, during which she held pivotal roles, including her most recent position as Deputy Head of Public Service and Deputy Secretary to Cabinet. Her extensive experience underscored her commitment to public service.

Tributes from colleagues

Vice President Jessica Alupo lauded Katuramu’s efficiency and availability, noting, “Your motherly and professional guidance will be missed.” She highlighted Katuramu’s significant role in mentoring future leaders, showcasing her influence in shaping the next generation.

Lucy Nakyobe, Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet, expressed deep gratitude for Katuramu’s dedicated service, which began in 1975 as a Personnel Officer.

Nakyobe emphasized, “Her unwavering dedication will be remembered for generations,” reflecting on Katuramu’s lasting impact.

Katuramu’s professionalism, wisdom, and humility have been instrumental in enhancing the growth and efficiency of the Public Service. Nakyobe further remarked, “Her commitment and institutional knowledge have greatly benefited the nation,” highlighting the void her departure will create.

Reflecting on a fulfilling journey

In her farewell, Deborah Katuramu shared her gratitude for the diverse opportunities she had to serve, spanning Local Government, Culture and Community Development, and the Office of the President.

She acknowledged the vital support she received from Nakyobe in preparing Cabinet papers and minutes, which played a crucial role in her success.

As Katuramu steps into retirement, she leaves behind a legacy of excellence and a profound impact on public service in Uganda. Her remarkable journey serves as an inspiration, and her invaluable presence will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege to work alongside her.
