“By virtue of powers vested in the President by Article 32 (3) of the 1995 Constitution and Section 5(1) & (2) of the Equal Opportunities Commission Act, I have appointed persons below as Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and Members of the Equal Opportunities Commission, respectively ” the President wrote.

In a letter dated March 23 to Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga, the President forwarded their names and Curriculum Vitae for Parliamentary approval.

Nabatanzi’s contract run out in December last year at a time she was battling corruption-related charges before the Anti-Corruption Court in Kololo, Kampala.

In what was seen as a move to sanitize her image from the corruption and neglect of duty charges, Nabatanzi swore a deed poll earlier this year, changing her name form Sylvia Muwebwa Ntambi to Sylvia Muwebwa Nabantanzi. She was mostly commonly referred to as Ntambj in negative media stories.
