ANALYSIS: Has Museveni Listened To Kigezi Voices In Appointing Augustus Nuwagaba? In Prof Augustus Nuwagaba, the Kigezi subregion has retained a part of the Bank of Uganda governor job that the son of the soil had for a long time held -now deceased Emmanuel Tumusiime Mutebile. In the early days of Mutebile’s death, voices within Kigezi petitioned President Museveni to retain the governor's job within the region before suggesting names, among which included Prof Nuwagaba.  

Power, Politics, or Capability: Did President Museveni (left) strategically appoint Prof. Augustus Nuwagaba (centre) as Bank of Uganda Deputy Governor to appease the wishes of the Kigezi sub-region where the deceased Prof. Tumusiime Mutebile (right), the former Governor hailed from and where there was strong agitation to ringfence the governor position for a son of the soil or was it purely a merit-based decision?
