Daily Monitor Sunday May 09 2021 Last weekend, Uganda joined the rest of the world to celebrate Labour Day, or International Workers’ Day as it’s known in some jurisdictions. Lest we forget, Labour Day is traditionally a day to pay tribute to workers and their contribution to the development of nations. Labour Day celebrations have over the years evolved into occasions of soul-searching to address employment challenges. This year’s national theme, “Enhancing innovation for increased employment creation and labour productivity: A sustainable Covid-19 response,” was therefore appropriately chosen. Workers and labour matters are very important to the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA). As a regulator of public procurement and disposal, the authority holds a vital key in ensuring that the regulatory function facilitates creation of employment.
