Vincent Woboya (born 1 July 1974) is a Ugandan public administrator, disaster manager and politician. He is the elected Member of Parliament for Budadiri County East, Sironko District and a representative for NRM, the ruling political party in Uganda.[1]
Woboya is the NRM whip for Bugisu sub-region and is a member of both the Committee on Commissions, State Authorities & State Enterprises and the Committee On Presidential Affairs in the 10th Parliament of Uganda.[2][3]
In 2006, while working in the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), Woboya with the assistance of UNDP[4] and the Danish demining group (DDG) spearheaded the implementation of a humanitarian demining program, the National Mine Action Programme (NMAP), in parts of Northern Uganda that were heavily affected by the 20-year LRA insurgency.[5] This combined effort led to official declaration of Uganda as a landmine free country on 10 December 2012.[6]
