President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has appointed his daughter, Natasha Museveni, as the Governor of the Bank of Uganda.
There had been agitation for President MUseveni to name the new bank chief after its governor, Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile, died over two years ago.
Deputy Governor Michael Atingi-Ego had run the central bank since the death of Tumusiime-Mutebile in January 2022.
