Museveni advisor Dr. Hillary Kisanja honored by British Parliament

Dr. Hillary Emmanuel Musoke Kisanja, a senior presidential advisor on agribusiness, was honored by the World Book of Records in a ceremony at the British Parliament last week, the organization announced.

Kisanja was recognized for his “transformative leadership” in agribusiness, mechanized farming, and empowering youth and women in Uganda. He was among six Ugandans who received the distinction at the House of Commons.

“This award is not for me alone — it is an award for Uganda, for President Museveni, for the youth, for the women, and for every Ugandan working hard to transform our country,” Kisanja said upon his return to Entebbe International Airport.

The ceremony was organized by Lord Raminder Singh Ranger in collaboration with William Mutenza, a British-Ugandan, and Uganda’s High Commissioner to the U.K., Nimisha Madhvani.

Other honorees included former Deputy Prime Minister Rebecca Kadaga, Energy and Mineral Development Minister Ruth Nankabirwa, economist Augustus Nuwagaba, former State House Anti-Corruption Unit head Edith Nakalema, and social entrepreneur Nelson Tugume.

Kisanja, who has served under the Office of the President, has been a key figure in community initiatives, including programs focused on youth empowerment and artisan training.

During his address, Kisanja advised the youth to “work hard and stay consistent. Desist from misleaders and political opportunists who misguide you into destructive paths.”

The World Book of Records, a global organization, certifies achievements in leadership, social impact, and public service.
