In a letter dated September 23, 2024, Museveni officially announced Ayeranga’s new role, stating, “By the copy of this letter, I direct the State House Comptroller and Lawyer Kyichooncho to generate the necessary instruments for my signature, appointing you as Special Presidential Assistant for Mobilisation in the Bunyoro Region.”
Ayeranga’s appointment follows his letter dated August 30, 2024, in which he expressed his interest and capability in taking up the mobiliser role. Museveni’s decision to elevate Ayeranga to this prestigious advisory position indicates the importance of Bunyoro in Uganda’s political landscape, as well as Ayeranga’s potential to further the government’s agenda in the region.
The position comes with a substantial salary of six million Ugandan shillings per month, reinforcing the importance attached to the mobilisation efforts in the region.
Museveni congratulated Ayeranga on his new role, affirming, “Congratulations,” in the final lines of the appointment letter, which was also copied to the State House Comptroller and Commissioner Legal, Kyichooncho Flora.
