President Yoweri Museveni has appointed the former Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Beti Olive Kamya as the new Inspector General of Government.<\/p>\n

Kamya and the other appointments were made public through the President’s official Twitter handle on Thursday. Kamya will be deputized by Anne Muhairwe.<\/p>\n

“By the Powers given to me under Article 223(4) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, I hereby, appoint Inspector General of Government – Beti Namisango Kamya.\u00a0 Deputy Inspector of Government – Anne Muhairwe,” reads part of Museveni’s communication.<\/p>\n

The President also named Mariam Wangadya who has been the Deputy IGG as the new Chairperson of the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC).<\/p>\n

The Inspectorate of Government (IG) and UHRC have for long remained without substantive heads after the office\u00a0of the IGG fell vacant on July 5, 2020, following the expiry of the contract of Justice Irene Mulyagonja after serving for eight years and the death of\u00a0the previous chairperson of the UHRC Med Sozzi Kaggwa in November 2019 respectively.<\/p>\n

The absence of the IGG crippled work of the Inspectorate of Government and officials in the institution severally reported that they could not sign charge sheets, which require the consent of the IGG and all charge sheets are being forwarded to the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) who has powers to prosecute.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Inspectorate could only carry out investigations and submit the papers to the DPP for approval while the Appointment Board of the IG, which is supposed to be chaired by the IGG remained dysfunctional.<\/p>\n

Museveni also appointed Lucy Nakyobe Mbonye as the Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet and Jane Barekye as the State House Comptroller.<\/p>\n

Nakyobe has been previously serving as the State House Comptroller and she replaces John Mitala who has now been appointed as\u00a0senior presidential advisor on public service.<\/p>\n

The former Minister of Defence Adolf\u00a0Mwesigye is the new Clerk to Parliament replacing Jane Kibirige.\u00a0Last month, Mwesige who is also the former Member of Parliament Bunyangabu County asked President Museveni to consider him for either the position of chairperson or member of UHRC.<\/p>\n
