The uncertainty resulting from this ongoing restructuring process has led to the prolonged acting arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The restructuring is intended to streamline government, but we acknowledge that the uncertainty during this transition has led to these prolonged acting arrangements,&#8221; Ocailap told the committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsatisfied with the explanation, the committee directed the Ministry of Finance to provide a comprehensive list of all officers currently serving in acting capacities within its purview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the committee resolved that all future entities appearing before it must submit similar lists, as Parliament intensifies its oversight role on staffing norms and accountability in public institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The directive marks a firm stance by the legislature to enforce compliance with public service standing orders and ensure that permanent leadership is installed to drive efficiency in government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KAMPALA, UGANDA &#8211;
