Minister Orders Action As Dismissed Engineers Remain In Office

Kampala, August 12, 2026 - A cabinet minister has ordered enforcement action after engineers previously dismissed on presidential directive were reported still occupying office roles, turning an administrative dispute into a test of executive follow-through.

The episode feeds a wider narrative about discipline in the public works and infrastructure bureaucracy, where personnel decisions often intersect with project delivery and procurement integrity.

Investors tracking road and works execution read such cases as evidence of how quickly - or slowly - high-level accountability instructions translate into institutional change.
