Dear All,

Today marks the last day of my current contract as Managing Director at the Fund. I will be away from office starting tomorrow, 2nd December 2022 as I await the final decision on my employment situation with the Fund. Patrick will act in that position until further notice as you may have seen from the press release from the Acting Board Chairman.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with you all to make the Fund a fantastic place to learn and work. I am pretty confident that you will maintain the current momentum aimed at making the Fund the premium social security provider of choice. Remember, what has gotten us here is doing the right thing for the benefit of the member, all the time. If you deviate from that, you will soon see the results!

Congratulations to Patrick for being appointed for another five years as DMD and for now taking over the mantle to achieve the strategic objectives we have set over the last couple of years. Don’t forget the significantly changed legal environment that enables us aim for the sky in pleasing the member.

Hope we can meet again, maybe! Ends the letter.

Now, tt should be remembered that Richard Byarugaba was instrumental in the National Social Security Fund (Amendment) Act, 2021. It seeks to expand social security coverage, enhance the spectrum of benefits available to savers and improve governance of the Fund.  However, Byaruganda and cohorts claimed that some savers did not qualify for Mid-term benefits.  This, they played it by tricks, claiming it was administrative.
