Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has appointed his daughter, Mrs. Natasha Museveni, as the new Governor of the Central Bank of Uganda.
The appointment adds to the significant influence held by the First Family in Uganda’s government. President Museveni has been in power since 1986, his wife serves as Minister of Education, and their son is the Chief of Defense Forces.
Natasha Museveni’s new role places her at the helm of the country’s monetary policy, banking regulation, and financial stability during a period of economic challenge and regional uncertainty.
The move has drawn immediate attention from political observers and transparency advocates, raising questions about governance, meritocracy, and familial consolidation of state authority.
No official statement has yet detailed her qualifications or the selection process for the appointment.
