The process, led by the Public Service Commission under Lucy Nakyobe, is due to start on Monday and could disrupt committee proceedings, according to Nile Post.

Uganda’s Parliament is to subject more than 300 employees to a four-day validation exercise to determine whether their appointments followed the required procedures, Nile Post reports. The exercise will be conducted by Public Service Commission officials and will cover several parliamentary departments, including the Office of the Clerk to Parliament.
