182 Parliament staff recruited irregularly, says IGG report

According to the audit, some of the staff recruited through the headhunt lacked the minimum academic requirements for the positions they held, while others held qualifications not relevant to their jobs. In one example, the report shows that some recruited drivers hold Uganda Certificate of Education papers but do not meet the grades required to join the public service. Some had scored F9 in English, while others lacked the required number of subject passes. Following these findings, the IG recommended a review of the personal files of all employees to confirm that they have the requisite qualifications.

House in session. Previous allegations reported that more than 300 employees were recruited during the 11th Parliament.
