After I complete my international mandate, I want to take seriously the possibility of offering myself as part of a national solution and national renewal. Building on the experience of the current government, I want to make that contribution,
Mukhisa said
Mukhisa who describes himself as an intellectually finished product is set to finish his term at UNCTAD in July 2021 just in time for the 2022 elections.
I am 63 years old, relatively of good health. I think I am intellectually a finished product,
he said
I have an idea about governance, international experience, international best practices. I have had a privilege – on duty – to visit 119 countries, which is more than most people visit in their lifetimes.
