But in the run up to the new year, sources say the President has since decided to appoint Prof. Balunywa as Mutebile’s No.2, to give government more time to plan the recommended administrative setup changes at the Central Bank.

President Museveni, indeed met Prof. Balunywa during the Christmas holiday, praising him as a good manager who has offered good direction to MUBS.

Prof. Balunywa led a delegation of the MUBS staff association members to the Presidents Country home in Rwakitura on December 29.

The President has before praised , Prof. Balunywa especially when he ordered the First Lady and Education Minister Janat Museveni to extend his current term at MUBS in May 2018, writing on May 28, 2018 that the MUBS chief “has always been on the right side of the liberation ideology” and had given the MUBS institution good leadership without strikes.

President Museveni has increasingly praised Prof. Waswa Balunywa in the recent past (PHOTO/File).

“I have never found him averse to advice the few times I have interacted with him. Such a person is always good to work with,” Mr Museveni wrote, in glowing praise to the MUBS chief.
