Museveni salutes Uganda Airlines crew
After flying Uganda Airlines to Tanzania for the signing of oil agreements, President Museveni has said corrupt officials in the management and board of the airline “must face consequences.”
The president’s flight on Uganda Airlines came at a time when it has attracted a lot of negative publicity because of alleged corruption and mismanagement. Then Works and Transport minister, Gen Katumba Wamala at the end of last month suspended senior airline managers including the CEO Cornwell Muleya.
Others on suspension are Joseph Sebbowa, the head of human resources, Paul Turyacayisanga, the finance director, Harvey Kalema, the manager ground handling and operations, and Bruno Origi, the director of safety and compliance. Others are Moses Wangalwa, head of procurement and assets disposal and Alex Kakooza, the airline's first captain.
