1. Inspector General of Government – Beti Namisango Kamya2. Deputy Inspector of Government – Anne Muhairwe
Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
President of Uganda— Yoweri K Museveni (@KagutaMuseveni) July 15, 2021
The president named Betty Kamya the new Inspector General of Government, replacing Lydia Mugambe.
However, this followed Ms Betty Kamya’s loss in the parliamentary elections in Lubaga North to NUP’s Abubaker Kawalya.
Museveni also subsequently dropped her from cabinet as Minister of Kampala. Betty Kamya will therefore be deputised by Ann Muhairwe.
The President announced these appointments on his official Twitter page.
“By the Powers given to me under Article 223(4) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, I hereby, appoint:
1. Inspector General of Government – Beti Namisango Kamya
2. Deputy Inspector of Government – Anne Muhairwe
Yoweri Kaguta Museveni President of Uganda.” The President tweeted.
Mr Museveni also appointed renowned MUBS economics lecturer Ramathan Ggobi as the new permanent secretary to the Ministry of Finance.
Ggobi replaced Keith Muhakanizi whom the president transferred to the Office of the Prime Minister.
Expectations in Ggobi to see his policies are high after he criticized the state for what he termed awful decisions on the economy especially dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
In other appointments, the president also retained Dr Diana Atwine as the Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Health.
Ms Lucy Nakyobe Mbonye was named the Head of Public Service and Secretary of Cabinet. Museveni also appointed Ms Jane Barekye as the State House Comptroller.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
