Uganda Airlines boss not qualified for job, MPs say

Reporter | August 18, 2022

Parliament’s Committee on State Authorities and State Enterprises (Cosase) yesterday discovered that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Uganda Airlines, Ms Jennifer Bamuturaki, did not meet the minimum academic qualification for the job at the time of her appointment.

The revelation came after she presented copies of her Curriculum Vitae (CV), job description and academic documents to the committee that is probing the findings from the Auditor General’s report for Financial Year 2020/2021.

Ms Bamuturaki also submitted documents of top bosses at the level of director and manager.

The committee chaired by the Nakawa West MP, Mr Joel Ssenyonyi, indicated that at the time of her appointment, Ms Bamuturaki only had a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Works and Social Administration and lacked a post graduate qualification, as it had been required.

Whereas Ms Bamuturaki possesses most of other qualifications raised in the copy of the advert, it was noted that she did not have a post graduate training in administration or any other business-related course.
