{UAH} WHO IS LUZINDANA ADAM BUYINZA

He was born on 7th July 1982 in a predominantly peasantry family to Mr. Sowedi Rwabizi and Ms Jaliat Nakibuka in Butakoola village,Bwetyaba Parish,Kayunga Subcounty,Bugerere County in Kayunga District, the then Mukono District. He was named Buyinza because the first 7 (seven) children of his parents died before making one year. When he made it to 1 year, he was named Buyinza literally meaning the Power of God. He started his primary education at Namagabi UMEA Primary School in Kayunga, the then Mukono District where he attained the Uganda Primary Leaving Examinations Certificate. He completed his Ordinary level Certificate of Education at Ndeeba Senior Secondary School, and joined Kololo Senior Secondary School in 1998 and attained the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education from Muyenga High School. He later on joined the Faculty of Arts, Makerere University to pursue a Bachelors Degree in Secretarial Studies.

While at Makerere University, the genius and vibrant youth joined active politics and became a centre of University Politics. He formed and spearheaded a number of student’s
movements. He founded the Professional Development
Agency, principally to provide career development services
to students and professionals, provide education and
employment services, job placement, selection of
university, international students exchange, visa
acquisition, talent support and development, support scheme for students from poor families, airport assistance, brokering of traineeships and apprenticeships for employers, curriculum development, capacity building and training for Government,NGOs,Corporates,etc,strategic planning, consultancy on HR issues, proposal writting,data anaylysis,speech writing, evaluation and monitoring, conference management,outsourcing,etc.

He formed the Revolutionary Movement Vision 2025 (RMV-2025) which at a later date succeeded in invalidating the negative trend of University Politics which was dominated by tribalism, high degree of malice and sabotage, assault, abuse, etc.

His Organization predominantly mobilized students in all Universities to ally behind the ruling National Resistance Movement of Gen Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the President of the Republic of Uganda. He introduced techniques which resulted to the disintegration of a number of opposition political groupings at the University. He introduced Interparty Political dialogues at the University, developed a network of student’s leadership in many universities in Uganda.

He became a symbol and the light of the ruling Government at the University but this did not stop him from founding and building an organization known as Public Opinions (www.pubopinions.org).

While LAB was a proponent of the ruling NRM regime, at many occasions, he openly critiqued the NRM leadership. He vehemently opposed the transition from the broad based and all inclusive movement political system to a new multiparty political system urging that it was un planned, premature and that Ugandans are not ready for the real values of Mult-party democracy. He referred the move as a ploy to avert the positive trend of the growing democracy of Uganda. He envisaged that 5 years from the referendum, Uganda would achieve nothing, but will lose greatly as far as the democratization process is concerned.



Following the referendum in which the people of Uganda endorsed the return to the Mult-party political system, Adam formed a short-lived mass political organization known as the National Salvation Movement (NSM)/Movement for National Salvation (MNS) which was to lead the new and old generations, rich and poor, the peasants and the working class of Uganda to restore a broad based and all inclusive government.

In the wake of the demand for federal by the people of the Kingdom of Buganda, Luzindana Adam Buyinza,together with Mr. Benard Luyiiga the then Chairman of the Council of Chairpersons,Makerere University, now Councilor- Kampala City Council, the Late Vincent Lugonvu Byansi (the then Chairman of the Uganda Young Democrats), Lugolobi Hamidu then Speaker of the Great Lumumba Hall, currently with the Uganda Electoral Commission, Waisswa Kassim Balabyeki the then Minister for Mess Affairs and Advisor to the Opposition Political Parties-Makerere University, now at the University of Reading in UK formed the Advocacy for Federal Governance in Uganda (AFGU) a pressure group that advocated for a federal system of governance for the whole Uganda if federal is to be granted but recommended that traditional institutions be empowered.

He met and made many friends. He opposed tribal and other secretarian tendencies, calling for unity and community empowerment. With such a vision and aspirations, together with the late Lugonvu Vicente, FOLA Foundation (Friends of Lugonvu and Adam Foundation) was founded which later on with Nakabale Patrick renamed Goodwill Fraternity which is now an Organization providing special need Services for Children with Intellectual disabilities, Anti-Sexual Abuse programs, Household Hygiene and Sanitation programs, HIV/AIDS programs, Road Safety Awareness Campaign, etc. Goodwill Fraternity operates one of the fastest growing clubs known as the Goodwill Executive Club.
