NOTU CHAIRMAN USHER WILSON OWERE PUSHES TO CENSURE MINISTER FOR GENDER, LABOUR AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
The chairman general of National Organisation of Trade Unions (Notu) has given the Labour minister a two-week ultimatum to relinquish her ministerial position for overstepping her mandate.
In a two-page missive, Mr Usher Wilson Owere says Ms Betty Amongi acted in error by interfering with not just Notu matters but aLao those at National Social Security Fund (NSSF).
Without providing evidence, the Notu top official claims that Ms Amongi asked Mr Richard Byarugaba—the immediate past NSSF managing director—for Shs6 billion as a condition to “get a new contract.”
Mr Byarugaba’s contract wasn’t renewed when it run its course at the start of this month upon reaching the retirement age.
The minister also appointed the deputy MD (managing director) on a five-year contract who is also 60 years old yet she failed to renew the MD’s contract on an account that he was 60 years,” Mr Owere wrote, referring to Mr Patrick Ayota’s reappointment—on a five-year contract—as the fund’s deputy MD.
