Uganda: Clerk to Parliament Mwesige Dropped As President Reshuffles PSs
Museveni’s reshuffle replaces several senior officials as the Public Service Commission reviews the nominees before they take office.
- On Sunday, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni nominated 13 new Permanent Secretaries across key government ministries, submitting the list to the Public Service Commission for formal assessment under the 1995 Constitution.
- These appointments replace seasoned accounting officers with internal administrators, technical specialists, and academics, aiming to streamline national development programs and address bureaucratic bottlenecks within critical government dockets.
- Dr. Edward Sengonzi Damulira, formerly an accounting officer at the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, has been nominated to replace Adolf Mwesigye as Clerk to Parliament.
- Mwesigye's departure ends a five-year tenure marked by scrutiny over an alleged Shs27 billion corruption scheme and a controversial Shs1.7 billion service award paid to parliamentary commissioners.
- Following the assessment process, the designated officers will formally assume their offices, though President Museveni did not specify whether Mwesigye would be redeployed to another government position.
