Kampala Central Member of Parliament aspirant Abraham Luzzi, popularly known as “Mr Economy,” has under the fifth pillar of his ‘Smart Manifesto,’ entitled ‘Administrative Reforms: Modern Governance and Accountability’, focused on administrative reforms designed to modernise governance and strengthen accountability across Uganda.
Known for his infectious humour, openness, and the now-famous catchphrase “Sarah is tall” a playful nod to his wife, Sarah Luzzi, whom he often praises publicly, Luzzi emphasised that effective administration forms the backbone of a progressive state.
He highlighted that Uganda’s development is hampered by entrenched bureaucracy, delayed payments, fragmented identity systems, and weak accountability mechanisms.
The proposed reforms aim to rebuild trust between citizens and government by leveraging digital efficiency, transparency, and integrated national identity systems.
A cornerstone of Luzzi’s vision is the creation of a national identity and digital citizenship framework. Every Ugandan, he announced, will be registered at birth using a secure biometric and genetic identity system.
This initiative will ensure that every child has a recognised legal identity, thereby reducing fraud, impersonation, and statelessness, while supporting national planning for education, health, and social welfare through real-time population data.
Citizens will automatically receive free National IDs and passports upon reaching the age of majority, eliminating delays, corruption, and repeated data collection.
The system integrates civil registration with immigration services, ensuring a seamless, lifelong identity record. In addition, a unified national citizen database will merge education, tax, health, and employment records, supporting e-government services, strengthening national security, and enabling precise resource planning.
Luzzi also outlined plans to enhance national security and citizen services. With verified identities, government agencies will efficiently allocate resources such as vaccines, school placements, pensions, and tax collection, reducing waste and duplication.
Notably, the National ID will function as a legal digital surety document, allowing courts and law enforcement agencies to process bail and bonds through biometric verification, eliminating the need for cash or third-party guarantors.
Each citizen’s National ID will carry a notional value of two million shillings, serving as a renewable credit worth that reinforces the economic value of being an Ugandan citizen.
In addition to identity reforms, Luzzi proposed major overhauls to government procurement and fiscal integrity. All verified suppliers will be guaranteed payment within 24 hours of contract approval, addressing one of the most persistent bottlenecks in public procurement.
The Posta will be revamped to ensure timely delivery of parcels, creating jobs and improving service delivery. Timely payments, fair evaluations, and consistent contract enforcement are designed to strengthen local enterprise, attract legitimate business participation, and foster a culture of professionalism and compliance.
To safeguard public funds, Luzzi plans to partner with the Judiciary, the Inspectorate of Government, and the Auditor General to establish specialised commercial and anti-corruption divisions within the High Court.
These divisions will fast-track procurement and financial-misconduct cases, ensuring swift justice while adhering to due process and human rights standards.
Convictions will trigger full asset recovery, restitution to the Treasury, and lifetime bans from public procurement or elective office, reinforcing accountability and deterring corruption.
“These reforms will transform government from a bureaucratic burden into a true partner for Ugandans. By combining technology with accountability, Uganda can build a governance model that delivers services efficiently, closes corruption loopholes, and restores citizen faith in leadership,” he said.
Luzzi’s comprehensive administrative agenda positions him as a forward-thinking candidate committed to modern governance, digital efficiency, and an accountable government that empowers citizens.
Born to Hajj Badru Kafuuma of Kakiri Luwaga in Wakiso District and the late Hadijah Nantaba of Gomba District, he attended SOS Hermann Gmeiner Schools, Kawempe Muslim, Mityana Secondary, and Lubiri Secondary School, he first trained in Orthopedic Medicine before pivoting to business studies graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Procurement and Logistics Management from Nkumba University. He is currently pursuing a Law Degree at Victoria University Uganda.
Outside politics, Luzzi has established himself as a successful entrepreneur. He is the Founder and Director of Ssebo Food Industries Uganda Ltd, producers of the widely consumed Ssebo Pure Maize Flour, and the Ssebo Pure Gold and Jewelry Center at Serena Hotel Kampala.
Through Ssebo International Group, his business footprint extends to the DRC, South Africa, USA, Canada, UK, China, and the UAE.
A strong believer in youth empowerment, Luzzi also runs a sports academy in Hammersmith, London, dedicated to nurturing young Ugandan talent.
His previous role as Marketing and Sales Manager and Head of Public Relations for the Uganda Police Football Club reflects his passion for sports and community development.
His social media presence and relatable messaging have earned him widespread admiration and positioned him as a fresh, modern voice in Ugandan politics.
He began his political journey as a mobiliser for the National Resistance Movement (NRM) in Mityana and Mubende, leading him to later contest for Mityana Municipality MP in 2021, losing to NUP’s Francis Zaake. He briefly joined the Democratic Party (DP) before choosing the independent path he now champions as he seeks to represent Kampala Central.
As the 2026 General Elections draw near, Luzzi will face stiff competition from seasoned figures such as National Unity Platform (NUP) Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya, Kampala Minister Minsa Kabanda of the NRM, Uganda Boxing Federation (UBF) President Moses Muhangi and Suzan Kushaba all vying to succeed outgoing MP and Ecological Party President Muhammad Nsereko, who has represented the constituency since 2011.
Yet, Luzzi’s growing appeal among voters seeking transparency, entrepreneurship, and practical leadership has made him a formidable contender.
