Saleh Kamba is a Ugandan politician and government administrator. He served as the elected Member of Parliament for Kibuku County and later held presidential appointments as a Resident City Commissioner and Resident District Commissioner.[1][2][3]
Background
[edit]Parliamentary records refer to Kamba as a retired lieutenant.[1]
Parliamentary career
[edit]Kamba won the Kibuku County parliamentary seat in the 2006 general election and retained the seat in 2011.[4][5]
Parliamentary records show Kamba serving on committees during his time in Parliament, including the Committee on Defence and Internal Affairs.[6]
In the 2016 general election, Kamba lost the Kibuku County seat to independent candidate Herbert Kijobe, according to Uganda Radio Network results reporting (Kijobe 14,391 votes, Kamba 12,297 votes).[7]
Election petitions
[edit]In August 2011, Uganda Radio Network reported a High Court decision in Mbale nullifying Kamba’s 2011 election on grounds of voter bribery following a petition by Jennifer Namuyangu and others.[8]
Ministerial nomination
[edit]President Yoweri Museveni named Kamba as Minister of State for Bunyoro Affairs in the Office of the Prime Minister in the cabinet list published by the Daily Monitor in 2011.[9]
New Vision reported in 2011 that the Parliamentary Appointments Committee did not approve his ministerial nomination, citing issues with academic documentation presented during vetting.[10]

An August 2024 presidential instrument listing RDC postings named “Kamba Saleh Moses Wilson” as Resident District Commissioner for Nakasongola District.[3]
