Government has resolved to disband or emerge a number of its agencies.
In a cabinet meeting chaired by President Yoweri Museveni on Monday, it was agreed upon to dissolve 25 agencies as a way of reorganizing government and realignment of functions.
Among the affected agencies include Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) which has been returned to Ministry of Works, NITA- Uganda which will be under the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance, National Information and Registration Authority (NIRA) to the Ministry of Internal Affairs while the National Forestry Authority goes to the Ministry of Water and Environment among others.
