The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mr. Thomas Tayebwa, has directed the Ministry of Public Service to update Parliament on when it intends to lift the ban on public service recruitment.
This is after Patrick Isingoma, the Member of Parliament for Hoima East City Division demanded a report from the Ministry over the matter.
This prompted Tayebwa to direct the Ministry to present a statement, updating parliament on when the recruitment in new cities will resume to ease government work.
In response, the State Minister for Public Service, Ms Grace Mary Mugasa, told parliament that the ban on public recruitment will soon be discussed by the Ministry’s top management before presenting a statement to Parliament.
The ban followed the Ministries of Finance and Public Service conducting a physical validation exercise of public servants across the country, to address the issue of ghost workers, among others who were increasing according to the Auditor General’s Report for the period ending June 2023. END.
