Mr. Biliku has now been transferred to the Ministry of Trade Industry and Cooperatives as an Assistant Commissioner.

Given the wealth of experience in the financial services sector in the background, UMRA board found her exceptional for the Executive Director position observed Ms Jacqueline Mbabazi, the board chairperson of the Authority. “We found you excellent, brilliant and very intelligent during the interviews. You impressed us that is why we gave the job to you”, noted Ms Mbabazi.

The board also appointed the Director of Supervision Mr. Andrew James Nyakoojo, the Director of Finance and Administration Mr. Peter Emong Ojulang.

The recruitment of the Executive Director Edith Tusuubira and the two directors means the top management of the Authority is fully constituted.
