She was born in Buyende District, in the Eastern Region of Uganda, on 13 March 1977.[1] She attended primary and secondary schools in the Busoga sub-region of Uganda. She was admitted to Kyambogo University, where she graduated with a diploma in Business administration, in 2001. In 2005, the same university awarded her a Bachelor of Management Science degree. Her Master of Business Administration degree was received from Makerere University in 2010.[1]
For seven years, from 2003 until 2010, she worked at Makerere University, Uganda's oldest and largest public university. She started out serving as a procurement officer, then as a records officer and finally as a store keeper.[1]
During the 2016 parliamentary elections Babirye was elected as the Woman Representative for Buyende District. One of the losers in that contest, Annet Mary Nakato, contested the result in court. The matter was settled on appeal, in the Court of Appeal of Uganda, when the court case was dismissed or lack of evidence.[2] [3]
