The Governor of the Bank of Uganda is chief executive officer and the chairman of the board of directors of the Bank of Uganda. The last governor was Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile, who was first appointed to this position on 1 January 2001, and was re-appointed for a second five-year term on 1 January 2006. In November 2010, he was re-appointed for a third five-year term, effective 12 January 2011.[1] In December 2015, he was re-appointed for a fourth five-year term, effective 12 January 2016.[2].
