Public Service state minister Mary Mugasa has said government will no longer accept public officers in acting capacity for more than six months.
“Some of the officers have been acting for years, and up to now, they are acting; why are they still acting?" Are the district heads reserving those positions for their family members and friends?” she said.
Speaking at the local government budget consultation meeting for Buganda south districts, in Mukono District on Thursday, Mugasa said if there are competence concerns, vacant positions should be advertise and replacements found within six months.
She further noted that there “are very many graduates who are fit to take up public positions rather than keeping acting officers.”
Still on Thursday, the minister denounced corruption by mostly District Service Commissions.
