I’m Sorry; Museveni Withdraws Statement On Retired Permanent Secretaries, Orders Hefty Payments In Compensation

By Spy Uganda

Kampala: HE. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has in a  new twist made an order to pay all the parliament secretaries he retired previously citing public interest’s demand.

According to the letter dated 19th June 2021 issued to Deputy Head of Public Service and Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet-office of the President, Museveni has since been informed that some of the secretaries he ousted had perfectly served the country thus ordering for their compensation over the termination of their contracts.

“I recently announced the retirement of some Permanent Secretaries in the public interest. I have been informed that some did not have any disciplinary cases against them,” reads the letter.

“Given that they were employed on contract, their contracts should be terminated and payment made in lieu of the notice of termination as opposed to retiring them in the public interest,” Museveni adds in the letter.
