According to UNEB Spokesperson Jennifer Kalule, Bukenya was battling health issues for some time before his peaceful passing on Sunday night.

“He has rested. His legacy is marked by the great strides he made for our nation during his years at the examination body, overcoming numerous challenges along the way,” she said.

Dr. John Chrysostom Muyingo, the State Minister for Education in Charge of Higher Education, described Bukenya as a dedicated servant whose legacy is firmly etched in Uganda’s educational history.

“He is greatly remembered for his guidance and mentorship of those who worked with him at UNEB,” said the exam body.

Bukenya’s remarkable career at the helm of UNEB began in 1997 when he was appointed as the Secretary, a role he held until his retirement in 2016.

He succeeded David Livingstone Ongom. Before Ongom, the position was held by Basil Kiwanuka.

On retirement, Bukenya was replaced by Dan Nokrach Odongo, his then Deputy Secretary for Secondary Education.
