The enhanced salary structure for public servants for the 2018/19 financial year is pointing at a heavy pay cheque for President Musevenis flight crew.
The salaries of the presidential flight crew have been enhanced by almost 10 times, Daily Monitor reports.
Museveni's chief pilot and engineer will be banking about UGX260m annually -- breaking it down; that's about UGX21.6m every monthly.
Earlier, those two have been cashing in as little as UGX2.8m per month, equivalent to UGX34.7m annually -- yeah, quite little for a person who is controlling the president's life thousands of feet high.
The least paid person on the presidential flight crew has been earning UGX1m and will be earning UGX12.1m per month -- almost 14 times more than a Resident District Commissioner.
Meanwhile, the salaries of state prosecutors have been increased from UGX737, 837 to UGX850, 000 per month and that of the Director for Public Prosecutions (DPP) has been increased from UGX4.8m to UGX5.5m per month.
Doctors' salaries have been reportedly enhanced to UGX3m despite continuous industrial actions over poor remuneration and working conditions.
On July 1st, new taxes approved by Uganda's government came into effect in a move aimed at earning an additional revenue to facilitate the country's UGX32trillion budget.
