Uganda’s phased pay reforms for civil servants have delivered mixed results. While scientists and medical professionals now earn 100% of their approved pay targets, disparities remain for roles like administrative staff and non-science educators. With UGX 2.2 trillion allocated so far, the reforms highlight the government’s effort to balance financial constraints with equitable pay distribution, aiming to boost morale and align with national development goals.

The Head of Public Service, Lucy Nakyobe, has issued a stern warning on rampant corruption within Uganda’s public institutions, urging Accounting Officers to lead the fight against graft. At a recent meeting with the Ministry of Finance and government officials, Nakyobe emphasized the importance of vigilance and adherence to ethical standards. Meanwhile, PSST Ramathan Ggoobi highlighted Uganda’s impressive economic recovery, citing a 6% growth in the last fiscal year and booming foreign direct investment. However, he stressed that continued economic success hinges on robust anti-corruption measures and effective public expenditure management.
