Nakyobe Orders Transfers Of Long-Serving Ministry Staff

Kampala, August 23, 2026 - Lucy Nakyobe ordered the transfer of long-serving ministry staff under a three-year rotation rule, a governance measure aimed at improving public service delivery.

Nakyobe said the rules require public servants to be moved regularly through different stations to raise the quality of service and reduce administrative stagnation.

The directive applies to ministry personnel who have remained in the same posts beyond the prescribed period and signals tighter enforcement of internal civil service management rules.

For businesses and citizens, more consistent staff rotation could affect how ministries handle permits, services and compliance processes, depending on how smoothly the transfers are implemented.
