The parish priest who built a multi-billion business empire

By Elvis Basudde

Rev. Peter Bakaluba Mukasa is a man of many talents, but the one most of us know him for is being Member of Parliament for Mukono South, a feat he has maintained for three terms.

But this man is as good a businessman as he is a politician, priest, journalist/broadcaster and student. Business for him started as a desire to honour his late father Paul Mukasa’s legacy.

With the help of his community, he started a low-cost school for residents in his remote birth village of Bajjo in Goma, Mukono.

Today, under Paul Mukasa Group of Schools, a sh15b business, Mukasa owns 10 schools in Mukono and Buikwe districts.

He is also into real estate, commercial farming and construction works.
