{UAH} Museveni rejects Otafiire plea to retain UTL boss

By MISAIRI THEMBO KAHUNGU

President Museveni has rejected Justice Minister Kahinda's Otafiire's call to renew the contract of Uganda Telecom administrator Mr Twebaze Bemanya and ordered that he be replaced.

The decision comes nearly three weeks after the President ordered the Minister of Finance Matia Kasaija not to renew Bemanya's contract as the Administrator of Uganda Telecom Limited (UTL).

On November 9, Mr Museveni wrote to Mr Otafiire informing him that Mr Bemanya must be replaced. He was responding to Otafiire's earlier letter on November 6 requesting the President to extend Bemanya's contract.
Mr Museveni told Otafiire that appointment of a new Administrator would bring cohesion in the government's efforts to revamp UTL since Mr Bemanya has had a sour relationship with the State Minister for Privatisation and Investment Ms Evelyn Anite whom the President praised as one of the active bazukuru (grandchildren) the country has.

"I have received your letter of November 6, 2019, about the Administrator of Uganda Telecom Limited (UTL), whose time is expiring but you want to renew the contract. Mr Bemanya is always in conflict with Minister Anite. Anite is one of our very active Baijukuru (grandchildren, in the local Runyankore translation)," Mr Museveni told Otafiire.

The President noted that the endless friction between Bemanya and Ministry of Finance is not good for the management of the state corporation.

The President has since reportedly declined to meet with Mr Bemanya to discuss his fate as UTL Administrator.
