Other considerations

Ms. Katunguka has been involved in several public investigations, tribunals and commissions of inquiry, including the following: (a) In 2007, she served as the registrar of the Electricity Disputes Tribunal, an organ of the Judiciary of Uganda.[3] (b) In 2010, she was appointed as the Secretary of the judicial commission established to investigate the alleged misuse of funds in the Universal Primary Education (UPE) and Universal Secondary Education (USE) government programmes.[4][5] That commission's work was terminated by parliament, before the commission finished its work, because the investigation was using up too much of the national resources.[6] In 2016, she was appointed as the Vice Chairperson of the nine-member Makerere University Visitation Committee, to inquire into the affairs of the University.[7] The report of that committee was made public on 29 December 2017.[8][9]
