Rev Dr FLORENCE ISABIRYE MURANGA: Branded matooke for all

It took the persuasion of her clan elders for Rev Dr Florence Muranga to abandon her dreams of becoming a lawyer – and the decision has borne fruit as she is today one of the most celebrated food technologists in Uganda.

“My family wanted me to be a medical doctor. Although I was an all-rounder in school, I came into the sciences reluctantly because I had a phobia for maths and biology,” Rev Dr Muranga said.
