Katsigazi was appointed on January 20, replacing the late Lt. Gen. Paul Lokech, who died in August last year (2021).

According to the programme, Katsigazi is scheduled to face the committee chaired by Speaker Jacob Oulanyah at 10:30 am at the Parliament building.

The committee will also vet the reappointment of the Commissioner General of Prisons, Dr Johnson Byabashaija, who has served at the helm of the institution since 2005.
