President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has appointed former National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Managing Director Richard Byarugaba and Moses Sabiti as Senior Presidential Advisors on Exports and Industrial Development.

Museveni said the two advisors will work with the exports secretariat in his office “to get better results.”

Sabiti, a former Country Director at TradeMark East Africa, has also been serving as Vice Chairperson of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Exports and Industrial Development (PACEID).

The new appointments are expected to reinforce government efforts to accelerate exports and industrial development as key pillars of Uganda’s economic transformation.
