The parliamentary committee on commissjons and statutory bodies (COSASE) has resolved to make a visit to the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority facilities in Entebbe tomorrow August 20,2026.
The visit was arraived at during a sitting chaired by Kyaddondo East MP Muwada Nkunnyingi (NUP).
The committee had sat to hear from UCAA management in respect of ongoing investogations instigated by concerns raised by the President recently in which he directed the sacking of several staff over abuse of office.
According Olive Lumonya, the acting Director General, all the affected individiuals have completed handover of offices and assets. To affirm her action, she told members that she had already informed the UCAA board of directors chaired by former Chief Justice, Steven Kavuma on the directive.
Meanwhile, the committee declined to proceed with its planned hearing from the UCAA manangement, citing the absence of the substantive Director General Fred Bamwesigye in the meeting.
The decision was made in spite of efforts by Lumonya to explain to the members that the Director General had health challenges and that she had stepped in as acting DG for the last 33 days.
Muwada however, insisted that she produces her appointment instrument for the legislators to confirm her acting authority. The meeting was halted as members insisted on the Director General’s appearance.
