“There is a lot of extravagance in those agencies, and we need a central body to review these salaries. When I was the chairman of COSASE, I requested information on the salaries of all government agencies. The Executive Directors are earning UGX 40 million and above per month, why all this?” said Mubarak Munyagwa.
The Ntungamo District LC V Councilor Hon. Naborth Mpirigwe said that the move to appointing Assistant RDCs is good for a governance system, because patriotism is very key and rallying people to embrace government programs within the districts is necessary.
Hon. Naborth added that the new appointments need to be clear as most of the people may fail to work under their RDCs because of high levels of Education, Salaries, among others.
Clarifying and confirming the recruitment Assistant RDCs Minister Milly Babaranda said that after they are complete with the requisite public service procedures a full list of successful staff will be published.
