The State Minister for general duties in the Finance Ministry, Henry Musasizi Ariganyira has hailed Kabale District Woman MP Catherine Atwakiire Ndamira for leading household empowerment in Greater Kabale District.

Musasizi who is also the Rubanda East County MP was speaking at the burial ceremony of Peninah Kyoheirwe Ngategize the deceased wife of Dr. Peter Ngategize, a retired Government officer who served for 22 years at the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning.

Musasizi commended the role played by a section of women in changing the social-economic status of locals in Greater Kabale that covers Rukiga , Rubanda and Kabale District. Notable among them was the late Kyoheirwe and the Kabale District Woman legislator Catherine Ndamira.

Ndamira was hailed for becoming the first top politician to start up distribution of free piglets to each household with a mission to encourage wealth creation through commercial agriculture.

In the ongoing project started six years ago, Ndamira distributes goats instead of Piglets to Muslim households. Aside from piglets, she had also distributed maize seeds to families involved in agriculture.

Ndamira’s pig project idea was borrowed by Kabale Municipality MP Dr. Nicholas Kamara and later the Rubanda Woman MP Prossy Mbabazi Akampurira who also started distributing piglets to their constituents a year later.

It is on this note that Musasizi applauded Ndamira for setting the precedence for other MPs in promoting household income.

“Thank you Catherine Ndamira for working hard and leading us in empowering people at Household level. You’re not only setting an example for us, but also promoting President Museveni’s message of Job and wealth creation,” Musasizi said.

Musasizi also read a condolence message from the Ministry of Finance in which Minister Matia Kasaija hailed the late Peninah Ngategize for supporting her husband Peter Ngategize while he was still Head of Private Sector Development Unit in the Ministry before he officially retired in December 2021.

The Former Prime Minister Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda who is now a Special Presidential Envoy described the late Peninah as a multi-talented lady whose brilliant ideas contributed to the formation of the International Community Of Banyakigezi – ICOB that brings together Ugandans in the Diaspora ,but hailing from Kigezi Sub-region.

On her part, Ndamira said that the late Peninah would be remembered for contributing efforts in program initiatives geared at reviving the fertility of soils in Kabale District especially while the late was still working with Kachwekano Zonal Research and Development Institute (KAZRAD).

Ms Peninah Ngategize died on 5th April 2022 succumbing to illness related to high blood pressure that severely affected her legs .

Born in Katiba Muyebe, Kabale District in 1958. Peninah was the CEO of Computerwise Uganda Limited.

She served in the office of Cuyahoga Community College in USA, Office Manager in the telecommunications office of the African Union in Adis Ababa, Ethiopia and Revenue Officer in the Uganda Revenue Authority.

She mothered four children with Dr. Peter Ngategize who include one son and three daughters.
