The Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) has taken a significant step toward strengthening its institutional governance after the National Management Committee adopted a revised Human Resource Manual and Retirement Policy.
The milestone follows a detailed presentation by Katureebe Yaziidi, who spoke on behalf of a six-member subcommittee tasked with reviewing and validating the comprehensive 130-page draft document.
Katureebe addressed members during the committee’s routine Tuesday meeting held at the UMSC headquarters in Old Kampala. The session was chaired by Muhammad Ali Waiswa, and attended by senior leadership including Hafiz Muhammad Harunah Bukenya, Abbas Muluubya, and Muhammad Ali Aluma, alongside various departmental heads.
According to Katureebe, the revised manual aligns with the UMSC Constitution as amended in 2022, as well as the Council’s Ten-Year Strategic Plan. He explained that the document is designed to harmonise human resource practices with modern standards, while addressing gaps, inconsistencies, and previously overlooked areas in earlier versions.
He further guided the committee through the rigorous review, verification, and validation processes undertaken by the subcommittee to ensure the document meets institutional and governance expectations.
Following deliberations, the committee unanimously adopted the draft, which has now been forwarded to the relevant organs of the Council. The final approval is expected to be made by the General Assembly, anticipated to convene in the coming weeks.
