The Minister of State for Gender, Labour and Social Development Peace Mutuuzo has promised to track down and prosecute employers who abuse workers’ rights.
Speaking ahead of the Labour Day to be celebrated in Pallisa on Monday, May 1 Ms Mutuuzo said that the Government is aware of the country’s labour needs and is in a process of meeting them.
“The Labor Day takes off time to congratulate workers for their contributions to Uganda’s development,” Ms Mutuuzo said while addressing the media at Uganda media Centre.
She urged all workers to use this occasion as a turning point, to be used to reflect on good working ethics for better services.
This year’s Labour Day, to be presided over by President Yoweri Museveni, will be celebrated under the theme: ‘Building the Nation through Good Ethics’.
