Members of parliament on the parliamentary committee on commissions’ statutory authorities and state enterprises were shocked with salary disparities at Uganda airlines which caused the airline to lose 160 billion shillings last year.
The leadership of Uganda airlines led by the chief executive officer Bamuturaki Jenifer have been interfacing with the above committee answer different issues which were raised by the auditor general’s report for financial year 2020-2021, and Mps found out that employees in the Uganda airlines at the same level receive different salaries which is contrary to the law.
While using the auditor general’s report of financial year 2020-2021, Mps found out that the airline CEO earns 87millions every month, Director Maintenance earns 80 million and director commercial earning 40 million and director flying operation earning 40 million.
The committee also found out that pilots also at Uganda air line earn different salaries at the end of every month because according to the auditor’s report some pilots earn 60 million and others earn 40 million and yet they do the same work and all at the same level.
COSASE has this morning learnt that Uganda Airlines CEO Jenifer Bamuturaki didn’t meet the minimum academic requirements at the time of appointment by President Museveni. She only had a B.A SWASA and lacked post graduate training (an extra requirement).
Ms Bamuturaki is currently pursuing a post graduate-diploma in Public Administration at Makerere University.
