NLC under fire over irregular staff appointments, all-male leadership

The National Land Commission (NLC) is currently facing intense public scrutiny regarding its internal hiring practices and organizational structure. Critics have raised concerns over alleged irregularities in staff appointments, suggesting that the recruitment process may lack transparency. Furthermore, the commission has been criticized for its heavily skewed gender representation at the highest levels of governance. Currently, CEO Kabale Tache stands as the sole woman within the secretariat’s top management tier. This demographic imbalance has sparked a broader conversation about the need for equitable leadership opportunities within public institutions.

The controversy highlights ongoing concerns regarding gender parity and administrative accountability within government bodies.
