She rose to the rank of captain in the NRA. She also holds a Master of Arts degree in public policy and management from the University of London.[5]

Political career

After the NRA captured power in 1986, Mukwaya was appointed director of women's affairs in the Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Affairs, where she served until 1990. In 1994, she was appointed principal private secretary to the Vice President of Uganda, serving in that capacity until 1995. Between 1995 and 1996, Mukwaya served as Minister of State for Luwero Triangle in the Office of the President.

In 2006, she was elected to Parliament on the National Resistance Movement ticket to represent Mukono South Constituency.
