BoU Human Resource Director interviews son for job at Central Bank

Bank of Uganda’s Human Resource Director Dr. Jan Tibamwenda is under scrutiny over conflict of interest for vetting his son for a job at the Central Bank.

David Tibamwenda was one of the close to 4,000 applicants for Banking Officer jobs at BoU. 

Tibamwenda Jr was an applicant for a BoU job, alongside Agaba Moses Edmond, a son to Charles Mwesigwa the recently retired Deputy Director in charge of Procurement and it gets even murkier as the two are accused of not having the minimum qualifications – a first class or upper second class degree.

However, Tibamwenda said the vetting process was undertaken by external consultants and he just played a supervisory role. 

BoU Deputy Director for Communication Kelvin Kizito Kiyingi said it was premature to talk about a shortlist as over 3600 candidates applied for the 40 available positions.

“The shortlist has not yet been finalized. It is pre-mature to talk about a shortlist at this time. Bank of Uganda will make an announcement when the shortlist has been finalized,” he said.

Makerere to distribute graduation gowns in shifts

Makerere University has said students who are set to graduate this week will receive their graduation gowns in shifts.

The university’s 70th graduation ceremony is slated to start on Monday, January 14, 2020, but by Wednesday January 8, the contractor had not delivered the gowns, causing anxiety among the would-be recipients.

However, in a statement on the institution’s Facebook and Twitter pages, Vice Chancellor Barnabas Nawangwe said management would ensure that gowns for all graduands are ready by the day they attend the ceremony.

He also said that the official supplier of gowns informed Management at the last minute that he was experiencing challenges supplying all graduation gowns on time. “His actions are a breach of contract.”

“Management regrets the inconvenience and anxiety created by the Contractor’s failure to honour the contract and assures all graduands that everything necessary is being done to ensure a smooth graduation ceremony.”
