The former Executive Director UNRA, Allen Kagina has handed over the the offices and assets of the former National Roads Authority to the Ministry of Works and Transport.
Kagina officially handed over UNRA on 30th December, 2024 to the Hon. Minister of State for Works, Hon. Musa Echweru and the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Works and Transport, Mr. Bageya Waiswa.
This follows the institution’s dissolution as part of a broader government Rationalisation of Agencies and Public Expenditure (RAPEX) programme.
It becomes one of the seamless transfer of office and services ending Kagina’s nearly ten years of leadership at UNRA.
Kagina, who earlier in August 2024 was named amongst Uganda’s 100 top CEOs in the inaugural CEO East Africa Magazine’s 100 Leading and Most Admired CEOs in Uganda Survey 2024, will be remembered for changing the face of UNRA through governance, staffing, and operational reforms.
She expanded Uganda’s paved road network by 61%, improved efficiency, saved UGX 269 billion via in-house capacity, and fostered integrity, transparency, and local content promotion.
