The government says it will save at least Shs 988 billion from the disbanding and merging exercise.
The permanent secretary at public service Catherine Musingwiire said government will harmonize the salaries of all the agencies that have been merged.
This she says will save government from spending more money since some agencies have been taking more than others.
Musingwiire says the merged agencies were taking more than 37% of government’s national budget.
