President Yoweri Museveni has reshuffled over 40 Resident District Commissioners (RDCs) and Resident City Commissioners (RCCs) with some being promoted to higher ranks.
The Secretary in the Office of the President, Hajji Yunus Kakande, during a media briefing in Kampala said that the transfers are not connected to the recently concluded NRM .
Kakande said the transfers and promotions were part of routine administrative restructuring aimed at enhancing service delivery and strengthening government presence across the country.
He emphasised that the decisions were based on performance, leadership needs, and strategic deployment, dismissing speculation that the reshuffle was influenced by political grievances from the primaries.
Kakande noted that the government evaluates the performance of these officials periodically and takes necessary steps to ensure effective governance at both district and city levels.
He further stated that while the timing may have coincided with the aftermath of the NRM primaries, the two processes are entirely independent, urging the public not to draw incorrect political connections. “The reshuffle is purely administrative and not a response to any political petitions or pressure,” Kakande stressed.
The announcement comes amidst heightened political activity in the country as preparations
