President Museveni has appointed a woman as the de-facto chief executive officer of the Uganda Parliamentary service. Ms Jane Kibirige was appointed yesterday.

This brings the number of women in the top administration of parliament to three. Others are Rebecca Kadaga, the speaker of parliament and Helen Kaweesa who is the public Relations officer of parliament.

Ms Jane Kibirige will officially takeover office this month of February this year. Ms Kibirige has officially replaced former clerk to parliament, Aeneas Tandekwire. Tandekwire left the office four months back.
