KAMPALA – In a move to lessen risks and strengthen internal controls in the currency operations, the Central Bank has transferred several staffs at its currency centres across the country.

Ms Angela Kasirye Katete, the deputy director corporate affairs, who is currently acting as the director of communications on Friday 27 confirmed the changes but did not disclose the names of the affected people since some officials rejected the transfer.

“On the issue of staff [transfers] in the currency department, staff transfers are a normal undertaking at Bank of Uganda and are carried out from time to time as provided for in BoU’s regulations and human resource policies,” Ms Katete’s email reads in part.

The bank has nine branches and currency centres in various locations across the country, whose purpose is to store, process and monitor the supply of currency to the government and private financial institutions in the surrounding cities, towns, and villages.

According to Bank of Uganda website, currency department is responsible for the designing and ordering of banknotes and coins to meet the country’s demand; this is one of the main functions of the department.

The staff transfers, however, came after BoU issued new rules regarding access of cash rooms at currency centres whose unspecified cash was reportedly stolen at its Mbale centre.

The guidelines were issued early this month after they suspended some staff at the centre following allegations that some of them were arrested by security operatives while trying to sneak out old notes.

Ms Katete explained then that there were allegations of pilferage involving cancelled stock at Mbale Regional Branch and that the Bank was conducting internal investigations to ascertain the veracity of the allegations.

“BoU instituted internal investigations into the currency operations at Mbale Regional Branch and these are in advanced stages. When completed the Bank will take the necessary steps accordingly,” she said.

Under the new guidelines, note examiners acquire permission to access another currency branch other than the one they work for.

Currency centres have also been ordered to review daily CCTV records and to ban food and drinks in counting rooms, among other guidelines.
