Renowned Ugandan businessman Emmanuel Katongole has been elected as a Rotary International director during the ongoing Rotary Conference in Mauritius.

In a telephone interview yesterday, Mr Katongole, who is the co-founder and chairman of Quality Chemical Industries Ltd, said: “This means we are now going to be more involved in transformation, economic empowerment, health, education and peace because Uganda and Africa are now represented at the Rotary Foundation International board.”

He said he is committed to serving both in Uganda and globally.

His appointment comes at a time when Rotary International is enhancing its efforts to promote humanitarian service, economic growth, global peace, combat diseases, and uplift local economies.

The businessman began his Rotary journey at the Rotary Club of Muyenga, where he held various roles, including club president. He later served as Rotary Uganda country chairperson and assistant governor at the district level.
