He was elected Mayor twice thereafter before he retired.
He has been Statewide Insurance Company (SWICO) Chairman of the Board.

May his soul rest in eternal peace. We thank him for his contribution to this country Uganda.
We have Really lost a very brilliant, intelligent Man, who always loved to see Uganda going forward. We pray that May the Almighty God give him eternal Peace. (RIP) John Ssebaana.
Indeed we have lost a Person of high integrity, who was politically mature and a guider. Ssebana was in for his country given his political history. When he was appointed by the NRM as Minister, critics and political mafia, tried hard to disown, threaten him but he was very firm and clear that he was serving Ugandans. We as MMAMBA clan, we have lost an opinion leader and grand pa. MAGRIP
MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD GRANT YOU ETERNAL PEACE. [RIP].
