The report which covers the period between 01 January 2005 to 30^th November 2008 is likely to bring back NSSF into the Uganda public spotlight because it will require the different officials that served NSSF during that period of time to appear before the committee to explain the financial anomalies that have been reported  in the Auditor General’s report.

Reaga Okumu, Chairman of the Committee

The Chairman of the committee, Reagan Okumu says he wants Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises Committee to quickly deal with this report. He appealed to all the officials that will be summoned to explain certain issues concerning the report to quickly adhere to the summons.

Okumu says since this report covers a long period of time, it implicates a number of former officials of the NSSF and therefore if most of these officials delay to adhere to the summons, they will delay the committee in return.

The former Managing Director of NSSF, David Candia Jamwa and the Deputy managing Director of NSSF, Prof. Mondo Kagonyera were forced to resign following the controversial purchase of land in Temangalo from Security Minister Amama Mbazi by the NSSF.

Okumu  also says this time the issue of NSSF should not be made politicized because this will affect  the committee’s ability of finding out all the facts and the truth about the Auditor General’s report.
