The Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Judiciary Dr Pius Bigirimana has launched a new book titled A Small Book of Big Quotes. The book was Monday launched by Principal Judge Dr. Flavian Zeija at the Judiciary headquarters in Kampala.

Zeija said Dr Bigirimana’s journey as an author has been one characterised by depth, diversity, and a relentless pursuit of truth. “His books delve into a myriad of topics, from African traditions to governance, resilience in post-conflict regions, the power of mindset, and the fusion of public and private sector thinking.

“These themes are not merely abstract concepts but are woven into the fabric of our lives, our culture, and our society. They are narratives that resonate with us because they are rooted in our experiences, our history, and our unique perspectives,” Zeija said.

The Principal Judge acknowledged that celebrating local writers can have a profound impact on literacy rates and the love of reading within our communities. “When we quote their words, we inspire others to explore their works, fostering a culture of reading and intellectual curiosity.

“Today, as we celebrate the launch of Dr. In Bigirimana’s book, we not only honour his exceptional talent but also recognize the broader significance of valuing and quoting our local authors. Their voices are essential threads in the tapestry of global literature, and they deserve to be heard and acknowledged,” he stated.

Ronald Nabimanya, the editor of the book said Dr Bigirimana is an absolute joy to work with due to his passion for truth and authenticity. Each of Dr Bigirimana’s books carries a positive change and it embodies a spirit of collaboration, Nabimanya said.

Bigirimana said his journey as an author has been one of exploration, discovery and relentless truth. Each of these books represents a chapter in my life, he said.
