The President’s decision to appoint Dr. Aminah Zawedde to the Office of the Prime Minister sends a clear signal of confidence in her leadership and expertise.
In 5 years, she grew the number of national systems built through the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance from 9 to 43, most of them built by Ugandan firms that the state now owns.
Business registration dropped from 10 to 15 days to about three hours. More than 3.5 million people have been paid through a system that checks every beneficiary against the national ID database.
Over 11 million learners now sit on a school register that replaced one from 1999. And one of her most important changes was the least visible: before 2023, a skilled government engineer had no career path, so the best ones left.
Her schemes of service gave them a ladder to climb and a reason to stay. That is how a country keeps its talent. Congratulations on your appointment@azawedde. Give us feedback on this story through our email: kamwokyatimes@gmail.com
