Cabinet to scrap UNRA , NMS in merger of government agencies

The source said President Museveni was unhappy with the UNRA performance, especially in the rural areas where roads are impassable yet it is where majority of votes for his NRM party are.

The decision was taken in two meetings with the first held on August 20 and the last one on Monday last week according to a source.

The source said President Yoweri  Museveni was unhappy with the UNRA performance, especially in the rural areas where roads are impassable yet it is where majority of votes for his NRM party are.

Efforts to confirm the Cabinet decision with the Minister for Information, Mr Frank Tumwebaze, were futile. Two of his known mobile phones were switched off.

Deputy Minister for Information, Dr Chris Baryomunsi, too did not respond to our calls and message about the resolution.
The Deputy Director of Uganda Media Centre, Col Shaban Bantariza, confirmed the decision to re-organise government agencies, but said he did not have details.

“I know a decision was taken but I do not have details of how many will be affected or their status in the new arrangement status,” Col Bantariza said and referred Daily Monitor to the director of Uganda Media Centre, Mr Ofwono Opondo for further details.
