A law suit filed by Byarugaba's lawyer accuses Amongi of failing to support his reappointment for a third term as the Fund's managing director.
Byarugaba says that during his tenure as managing director of the Public Savings Fund, he has demonstrated exceptional stewardship in technology, innovation, and customer appreciation, as well as growing the fund to over 2 million members and management assets totaling sh1.7 trillion, and that he is thus qualified for reappointment.
He says that despite numerous recommendations from the Fund's appointments board, the permanent secretary in the Gender and Labour ministry, legal advice from the Attorney General, and absolution from any financial impropriety by the parliamentary committee formed to investigate financial mismanagement in the NSSF, Minister Amongi has refused to endorse his re-appointment and has since written to the board to begin a new process of appointing a managing director.
Byarugaba is seeking Court redress following the minister’s letter dated June 30th and directive to the NSSF board to start a new process for hiring a new managing director.

He is also seeking to compel Amongi to execute her statutory duties and finalise his re-appointment as managing director of the Fund.
The former NSSF managing director accuses Amongi of bias and hostility, claiming that when she levelled allegations of financial mismanagement against him, she took on the roles of accuser, investigator, prosecutor, and judge.
He also accuses the minister of ignoring the IGG's findings, which absolved him of these fabricated claims and vindicated the NSSF board's recommendation that he be re-appointed based on his previous performance in office.
