Uganda Government not decided on Public Service College

Members of parliament want the public service college to be run by Uganda Management Institute rather than building a new institution for the public servants.

The member of parliament for  Arua municipality who is also the chairperson of the parliamentary committee on physical infrastructure Ajedra Gadison says that UMI has all it takes to house this college and therefore it’s better to be given a responsibility to manage the public service college.

He however said that the board managing the college should always report to the ministry of public service for the harmonization of the courses to be offered at the college.

This was as MPs debated the developments in public service and local government today.

Zombo district woman member of Parliament  Freedom Kwiyucwinyi advised government to be cautious as they are authorizing UMI to house the college since the money to establish the college was signed by public service should handle the management issues without interfering with the loan contract.

 

The ministry of public service acquired a 60 billion loan from the World Bank to establish a civil service college to provide a sustainable skilled workforce for Uganda.

However, there has been questions in government on whether the money should be given to Uganda Management Institute  or whether government needs to construct a new Institute.
