" I Richard Tugume Tulyahikayo, describe myself as a professional operating on a 5 dimensional compass- Philosophy, innovation, business, agriculture, and finance. In this working experience, I have come to the realization that the current world order in all realms of life, especially the 5 that relate to my professional life compass, is on a path of extreme unchecked excesses that are a threat to the attainment of a sustainable eco-system and of a shared prosperity, liberty and freedom for all of humanity."
