City philanthropist King Ceasor Augustus Mulenga has been nominated to contest for the position of Chairperson of the Entrepreneurs League within the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party’s Central Executive Committee.
In his address Mulenga pledged to champion affordable credit for business owners and empower entrepreneurs across board.
“I have traversed all the sub-regions of Uganda, and there are several issues that have come up,” Mulenga said. “One of the major concerns is that entrepreneurs feel underrepresented and underserved. We must now focus on delivery and results,”he said.
Mulenga promised to hold workshops to sensitize the business community on taxes to help entrepreneurs understand tax compliance and maintain accurate records for the Uganda Revenue Authority. A key part of his platform involves creating six sub-regional SACCOs, which he envisions as development banks to facilitate low-cost loans.
Mulenga emphasized that his leadership approach will be collaborative and multi-layered.
Additionally, he plans to work in partnership with both the Entrepreneurs League and the Government to implement broader, policy-aligned programs that require institutional support and national reach.
Mulenga serves as Honorary consul of Vietnam to Uganda since 2017.
He is the founder and chancellor of King Ceasor University (KCU) in Kampala, a private institution that attracts a diverse student population from several African and Asian countries. KCU offers programs in medicine, engineering, law, business, and agriculture. First Lady Janet Museveni has previously commended the university for its focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
Born in 1967 in Kisoro District, southwestern Uganda, Mulenga began trading at a young age. He holds a diploma in business studies and a bachelor’s degree in commerce. His business ventures include telecom companies i-tel Ltd in Uganda and Gemtel in South Sudan, as well as investments in media, tourism, microfinance, and real estate, including the King Ceasor Game Reserve.
Through his Ceasor Development Kingdom (CDK) initiative, Mulenga has provided scholarships, micro-loans, and livestock to underserved communities.
