long serving Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet Dr.John Mitala, has died at Masaka referral hospital aged 74 . He had retired to his country home in Kalungu district . He died at Masaka referal hospital after a long illness .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mitala retired in 2021 after serving in the public service for at least 48 years. He was appointed by President Yoweri Museveni to head the public it in 2002 . He had joined civil service in May 25, 1973. Recently the Minister for Presidency-Milly Babalanda \u00a0hailed Mitala as a distinguished civil servant, who has left a trail of being incorruptible. Babalanda said, unlike many civil servants who look at government jobs as means of getting rich, Mitala\u2019s name has never been cited in any corruption scandal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour outstanding performance will be remembered for a very long time in the Public Service of Uganda and generally in the East African Community. You have exhibited the highest qualities of a civil servant \u2013 a true proponent of the civil service and code of ethics. Many Ugandans believe that serving in a public office means enriching oneself with quick monies. However, for the time that I have known you, sir, I have not heard your name in any public scandal. I want you, and request you to maintain this level of integrity for the remaining part of your service to humanity.\u201d said Babalanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
