Mr. Sam Nsubuga, the Chief Executive Officer for the African Center for Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture Victims (ACTV) becomes the new Chairperson for the Board of Directors, replacing Ms Salima Namusobya, who has served in the position since 2012.

In his maiden speech as the board Chair, Mr. Nsubuga pointed out the need to work together to transform LASPNET from where the outgoing board has left it to even greater heights. He expressed his gratitude for being accorded the mandate to steer the organization's governance body and requested for cooperation while transitioning into the new challenges.

He called upon all stakeholders and members to play a role in developing the next Strategic Plan as the current one will be ending this year.

The other new members on the Board are:

Mr. Fred Walulya now becomes the Honorable Secretary General, replacing Mr. Jaffer Senganda

and Ms Dora Kiconco the only female representative remains on the board as member on Merit.

The Position of the Chair and Central and Northern Representatives were highly contested for however the secret ballot election resulted into the best candidates taking the day.

We do wish the new board members fruitful governance as they soar the LASPNET family onto new heights.
