There are over 25 licensed Commercial Banks in Uganda. And as financial institutions, these are charged with, among others, accepting deposits from the general public and giving loans for investment with the aim of earning profits.

But how you ever wondered how much the Managing Directors and Executive Directors of these banks take home each month?

According to a research conducted by the CEO East Africa Magazine, Barclays Bank’s Managing Director Rakesh Jha is the highest paid local bank MD, taking home Shs148.6 million as of 2019, enough to pay off about 291 primary school teachers earning about Shs509,671 each.

On the other hand, Bank of Baroda’s Managing Director, Ashwini Kumar earns a ‘paltry’ Shs14.4 million, regardless of the fact that his bank is the sixth largest and fourth most profitable in the country.

Citibank Uganda’s Managing Director Sarah Arapta, at Shs72.8 million a month, is the most highly paid female boss.

Centenary Bank’s Simon Kagugube is the highest paid Executive Director, earning about Shs83.7 million.  His boss, Managing Director Fabian Kasi earns Shs89 million.

“The list, which includes only four females and 39 males was put together using various credible sources within the banks and auditing firms basing on January 2019 earnings,” CEO East Africa Magazine stated.

Apparently, the 43 Managing Directors and Executive Directors of 23 of the 25 banks earn an average of Shs61 million or a combined Shs2.6 billion per month. This adds up to a total of Shs31.5 billion per year.
