Meanwhile, Parliament’s Committee on Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises this afternoon prematurely ended its sitting after former Bank of Uganda executive director for banking supervision, Justine Bagyenda asked for more time to dig up documentary evidence to back her decision to clear the closure of three commercial banks without valuation reports detailing their financial status.

The committee chairperson Abdu Katuntu pushed the probe to Thursday morning, cautioning the officials against any further rat race and asked them to get acquainted with the audit queries beforehand.
