Time management and accountability paramount – Deputy Registrar General
The Deputy Registrar General, Mr. Alex Anganya, has equated the Directorate of Finance and Administration (DFA) to an engine that keeps the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) moving alongside key players. He applauded the Directorate for its contributions, emphasising that DFA is a critical pillar of the institution.
Mr. Anganya made these remarks during the directorate’s quarterly meeting on Friday at UBFC in Kololo, which aimed to review their performance, discuss administrative developments, and strategise for the upcoming quarter.
He highlighted time management as a crucial area that requires improvement. “I arrived here early and there were only a few people. It made me wonder if this is the engine we are working with,” he said, to which the Director Finance and Administration responded that there were actually 50% staff in attendance. Mr. Anganya retorted that 50% was not good enough.
“It is a once-in-a-quarter meeting so why can’t we make 100% in three months,” the DRG said, adding that success can only be achieved if members have time discipline.
He also addressed pressing concerns that were highlighted, particularly the issue of staff in the records unit whose contracts are soon to end, which has created uncertainty among employees. He acknowledged the seriousness of this matter and urged the directorate to find an appropriate resolution to ensure stability in service delivery.
On the other hand, Mr. Anganya expressed dissatisfaction with the second quarter report, citing delays in the accountability process.
He urged teams to focus on implementing planned activities and made it clear that funds without proper accountability would not be paid. He concluded his remarks by rallying the team to take their roles seriously and ensure commitment to financial accountability.
He also acknowledged the efforts of regional offices, assuring them of continued support from the headquarters.
