President Museveni has appointed Kayunga District National Resistance Movement (NRM) party boss Moses Karangwa Kalisa as Senior Presidential Advisor for Special Duties.
The appointment was confirmed in a letter signed by Stephen Opio Okiror on behalf of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Service.
Karangwa’s appointment takes immediate effect.
“I’m pleased to inform you that H.E the President, in the powers vested in him under Article 172 (1)(a) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, 1995 (as amended), and on advice of the Public Service Commission, directed that you be offered an appointment as Senior Presidential Advisor…” the letter reads in part.
Karangwa currently serves as the Kayunga District Chairperson for the National Resistance Movement and has previously held the position of NRM chairperson in Jinja municipality.
His appointment follows defeat, in August, in the NRM internal political contests when he lost the party's Buganda region chair to Godfrey Kiwanda.
