Early life and education
Nalubowa holds a bachelor's degree in Education, Democracy and Development Studies, and a postgraduate diploma in Human Resource Management.[2]
Career
Nalubowa was the secretary for education in Rakai district education service commission and a member of St. Bernard board of governors.[3][4] She was the chairperson of Kyotera District Service Commission between 2018 and 2024,[5] and the coordinator of the Education and Social Services at the Masaka Diocesan Laity Commission.[6][7] The Inspectorate General of Government advised the Public Service Commission to reject her reappointment for a second term which caused her to seek justice from the High Court, which ruled in her favor and ordered the IGG to compensate her with 150 million shillings.[2]
She was the National Unity Platform's candidate for the Masaka City Woman Member of Parliament race in the 2026 general elections. She was declared a winner, a decision which was overturned by Masaka Chief Magistrate Abert Asiimwe, who announced her rival, Justine Nameere, after a controversial vote recount.[1][8] She filed a petition to the High Court through her lawyers, seeking the nullification of Asiimwe's order for a vote recount, which led to the nullification of her victory.[9]
