For several years the Committee has been pointing out that the employees of the Bank of Uganda, who cannot be considered as public servants engaged in the administration of the State, are excluded from the scope of the Trade Unions Decree No. 20 of 1976 and therefore do not enjoy the rights guaranteed by the Convention.

The Committee notes from the Government's report that it has entrusted a Labour Legislation Review Committee (which benefits from the assistance of an ILO expert) with the examination, in particular, of legislative provisions concerning the right of association. Furthermore, the Government states that on 1 May 1990 the Government announced its decision in principle to remove restrictions on freedom of association including those on Bank of Uganda employees and that it hopes to be able to report soon on legislative progress implementing this policy.

The Committee notes with interest this policy statement by the Government and trusts that legislation to give effect to this new policy will be adopted shortly. It asks the Government to forward a copy of the legislation as soon as it is adopted and reiterates its request that the Government indicate in its next report the measures taken to guarantee that Bank of Uganda employees enjoy the rights laid down in this Convention.
