President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has hinted at possible significant reforms in Uganda’s labour sector.
He said the government is preparing to engage more deeply on key issues, including the establishment of a minimum wage, the phasing out of casual labour, and stricter regulation of employment agencies.
The President made the remarks on Thursday during this year’s International Labour Day (ILD) celebrations at Nakaale Grounds, Nakapiripirit District.
President Museveni informed workers that the Cabinet would revisit these matters in June this year to explore realistic and sector-based solutions.
President Museveni also criticized the current use of foreign labour in sectors where Ugandans are qualified.
