Kampala Central Member of Parliament aspirant, Abraham Luzzi, popularly known as “Mr. Economy,” has highlighted his transformative plan for Kampala Central under the eighth pillar of his “Smart Manifesto,'entitled' Local Action for National Impact,” the plan outlines a comprehensive blueprint for urban development, youth empowerment, and citizen accountability in Uganda’s commercial and administrative heart.
According to Luzzi, Kampala Central is Uganda’s economic and diplomatic hub, yet it faces challenges of urban congestion, unemployment, poor sanitation, and rising living costs.
The plan focuses on practical, measurable, and transformative solutions to ensure that the city thrives not only economically but also socially.
Under his plan, all major roads within the constituency will be paved and fitted with modern drainage systems to prevent flooding.
Building codes will be enforced to eliminate blocked water channels, and solar-powered street lighting will be installed to enhance public safety.
Luzzi envisions a Kampala where major roads meet modern standards and drainage corridors are fully rehabilitated, ensuring smoother movement and improved living conditions.
To protect tenants and streamline property management, Luzzi proposes tenant-friendly laws that include individual electricity meters, regulated rent increments capped at five percent annually, mandatory landlord responsibility for sanitation facilities, and a rent ceiling of three million Ugandan shillings. This approach is designed to safeguard residents while promoting transparency and accountability.
Addressing youth unemployment, Luzzi plans to launch a National Enterprise Fund that will provide startup capital, mentorship, and vocational training in trades such as ICT, fashion, mechanics, and the creative arts.
The initiative is expected to create thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities, empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs and skilled workers.
Kampala’s waste management challenges will be tackled through the implementation of a Waste Tracking System, the creation of recycling cooperatives, and environmental initiatives such as school and neighbourhood tree-planting drives.
Luzzi’s vision is a cleaner, greener city where waste collection efficiency is high and public spaces are revitalised with lush greenery.
Education access will be enhanced through the Kampala Central Education Support Program, a partnership with NGOs and private sponsors to provide scholarships to deserving students, particularly those pursuing science and vocational training. Luzzi aims to support hundreds of students from low-income families, giving them the tools to succeed in the modern economy.
Healthcare services will be expanded and modernised, with all five divisional health centers receiving essential drugs, maternity units, and emergency response vehicles.
Collaborations with private hospitals will extend free or subsidised services to indigent residents, while regular health camps will provide screenings and immunisations.
Luzzi envisions a constituency where residents have 24-hour access to primary healthcare and preventable diseases are significantly reduced.
Central to Luzzi’s plan is the establishment of the Luzzi Constituency Service Centre, which will act as a hub for public consultation, community coordination, and legal support.
The center will allow citizens to submit and track complaints digitally, receive mediation for community disputes, and engage directly with local leaders.
Monthly accountability reports will ensure that development progress and constituency expenditures are transparent, reinforcing a culture of trust between leadership and residents.
Youth and women entrepreneurs will receive dedicated support through a specialised desk at the service center, which will assist in accessing grants, training, and business registration.
Special emphasis will be placed on empowering female entrepreneurs, single mothers, and persons with disabilities, enabling thousands to establish and grow micro-enterprises.
Quarterly community forums will be held in every parish to encourage participatory planning, allowing residents to have a direct say in how funds are allocated and development priorities are set.
Luzzi believes that these forums will strengthen democratic participation while improving local service delivery, ensuring that the voices of citizens remain central to governance.
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.
