Uganda’s Minister of Finance, Hon. Matia Kasaija, has announced that he will not seek another term in office. The long-serving minister, known for managing the country’s budget and financial planning, says this will be his final term. After many years of working in government, he feels it is now time to step back and enjoy a quiet, peaceful life.
Speaking about his future plans, Mr. Kasaija revealed that he wants to retire to his farm. There, he hopes to spend his days in calm surroundings, away from the pressures of political life. “I want to rest, take care of my farm, and drink milk,” he said with a smile, showing his excitement about a simpler lifestyle.
Matia Kasaija has served Uganda with commitment and strength. During his time in office, he faced many challenges, including managing the economy during tough times. But now, he believes he has done his part and wants to leave the stage while still strong.
His decision marks the end of an era, as he has been a key figure in shaping Uganda’s financial policies for years. Many Ugandans will remember him not just for his work, but for his humble personality and love for the countryside.
As he looks forward to early mornings on the farm and fresh milk from his cows, Mr. Kasaija’s story is a reminder that even leaders need rest and sometimes, the greatest reward is a peaceful life close to nature.
