Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda has on Thursday morning opened the National Records Centre and Archives.

The facility along Lourdel Road in Kampala is under the Public Service ministry will be the home of all national records, which previously were kept in the basement of a colonial administration building in Entebbe.

China Railway Jianchang Engineering Company (T) Ltd constructed the building at a cost of Sh30b and was  funded by the World Bank under the project under the Uganda Public Service Performance Enhancement Project (UPSPEP) which commenced in 2013.

“NRCA will enable Uganda to demonstrate with evidence its effort towards building democracy, accountability and good governance,” he said. “The center will also be facilitating utilization of records by stakeholders, like civil servants, journalists and foreigners,” a statement from the ministry said.

Uganda did not have any law relating directly to records until 2001.Acccording to this law, all records with historical, administrative, legal, fiscal, informative and educational value must be deposited with the national archives. The law also demands the surrender of memorabilia, maps, cartographic drawings and blue prints of national buildings.
