The group recognised the First Lady for what they described as her ‘excellent service’ as education minister since her appointment two years ago.
“She has been following each and every project in the ministry carrying out endless inspections in various areas to make sure head teachers and teachers do their work. She has been in touch with the people on ground to understand their problems,” Joseph Mukasa, the chairperson caucus said.
He said the committee evaluated all ministers since they came into office for the past two years.
“We were looking at how the ministers have been relating with the public, conduct, projects managed in their dockets and successes among others. We realized that most ministers did not go on ground to check on the projects being implemented and see whether they reach the intended beneficiaries,” Mukasa noted.
Others ministers who were awarded include Vincent Bamulangaki Ssempijja (Agriculture), Frank Tumwebaze (Information Technology), Eng. Irene Muloni (Energy and Mineral Resources) and Godfrey Kiwanda (state minister for Tourism).
