When Uganda went into a total lockdown due to the Coronavirus outbreak, Mrs Dorothy Kisaka used various digital platforms to reach out to Christians, revealing bible-based ways families can thrive in challenging times.
In her sermons, Dorothy delved deeper into the Word, helping many understand their identity in Christ, and urged that although Church building were temporarily closed, “the church is alive and well, we are the temple of the Lord,” she said.
Preaching is not something she does become of a pandemic, through Deliverance Church Makerere Hill where she is part of the Deacons’ Board, the born-again mother and wife of over 30 years has for times without number proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ in and out of the pulpit.
Mrs Dorothy Kisaka was on Friday nominated by President Yoweri Museveni for the position of Executive Director for Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).
In a letter addressed to the Public Service Commission (PSU), the President directed the public service commission to interview Kisaka and four other officials to find out whether they are suitable for the positions, sources say.
If vetted and cleared by the PSU, Kisaka will replace Eng. Andrew Kitaka the current acting KCCA director whose contract extension expires next week on June 18.
President Museveni said Mrs Dorothy Kisaka was headhunted because of her ‘integrity.’
It should be remembered that President Museveni decried the corruption in his government while delivering his Heroes day address and budget remarks this week.
He said he had started “cleaning up” after he fired four Uganda Revenue Authority commissioners last month.
It is not immediately clear if the KCCA nominations are in relation to the same clean up that the president talked about, the Observer Newspaper reports.
Dorothy Kisaka is the Senior Presidential Advisor to the President of Uganda and Governance Advisor to the Prime Minister of Uganda.
She is currently the Administrator of the COVID-19 Response Fund, which brings together respected individuals from the government and private sector to coordinate the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
She’s also the co-founder of Destiny Consult, which trains and mentors young adults. Reports show that over 400 young adults have graduated from the program, including the current Inspector General of the government of Uganda.
In 2000, she attended the Haggai Leader Experience organised by the Haggai Institute. The organisation advances the skills of qualified Christian leaders to more effectively evangelize their own people, and train others to do the same.
For Dorothy, her Experience was the catalyst she needed to begin impacting many in Uganda.
“I started Destiny Consult after attending the Haggai Leader Experience in 2000,” Dorothy told Mission Finder in 2019. “The experience changed my worldview. I left seeing the world as God’s world and understanding His desire that all people should come to Him and understanding that I have a role I can play in changing the world.”
“They opened my eyes to know Christ’s purpose for my life, and to transform my worldview to embrace the world as God’s world. By God’s grace I have been used to help many people because I was empowered through their generous gift,” she said.
Through Destiny Consult, Mrs Dorothy and her husband Peter say:
“We want to empower young professionals to contribute to national development as they engage in self-driven and value-based wealth creation initiatives,” The couple continues, “We provide organizational development services where we engage with organizations to train leaders using a Bible-based curriculum.”
Between 2010 and 2014, Mrs Kisaka worked with the Electoral Commission as a Commissioner. She is a dynamic communicator, and a strong advocate for the placement of abandoned children in families.
Dorothy Kisaka trained as a lawyer at Makerere University. She pursued two masters of arts degrees; one in organizational leadership and management at Uganda Christian University, Mukono and another at York St. John University in the United Kingdom.
She worked with Kiyimba-Kisaka & Co Advocates from 1999-2014.
