MASAKA CITY—The Rotary Club of Masaka City is gearing up for its 42nd Presidential Installation ceremony scheduled for June 9, 2026 at 4:00pm, to be held at Hotel Next, in a high-profile gathering expected to attract leading professionals, business leaders, and community stakeholders.
The annual installation remains one of Masaka’s most significant Rotary events, symbolising leadership transition, renewal of service commitment, and strengthening of fellowship under the global Rotary movement.
At the centre of growing attention is Eng. Sotius Ssegawa, a long-serving Rotarian and respected entrepreneur who has been strongly tipped by founding members and senior Rotarians to assume the presidency of the club.
rotary movement and service foundation
Operating under the global umbrella of Rotary International, Rotary is a worldwide service movement founded in 1905, anchored on the principle of “Service Above Self.” Its mission focuses on promoting peace, fighting disease, supporting education, and advancing economic development in communities.
In Masaka City, the Rotary Club has grown into a strong professional platform that brings together individuals from diverse sectors to collaborate on service-driven initiatives. Through its locally embraced philosophy of “Bulungi Bwansi,” the club has implemented community programmes in health, education, environmental conservation, and youth empowerment.
role of rotarians and leadership responsibility
Rotarians are expected to actively participate in service projects, uphold ethical leadership, and contribute to community transformation through collective action. Membership is not ceremonial but practical, requiring consistent involvement in projects that impact society.
The Rotary President plays a central leadership role, providing vision, coordination, and strategic direction for the club. The office demands strong leadership, accountability, and the ability to mobilise members toward meaningful community service and impact.
It is this responsibility that has placed Eng. Ssegawa in the spotlight, with many Rotarians viewing him as a unifying figure with proven dedication to service and development.
strong institutional backing
The upcoming installation is being supported by key partners including Centenary Bank and DFCU Bank, under the leadership of Masaka City manager Benjamin Bugingo. Their involvement reflects continued confidence in Rotary’s community development agenda and partnerships.
