The supporters of General Muhoozi Kinerugaba, the president’s son who is working hard to replace him have eaten big in the new cabinet reshuffle.

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni this evening reshuffled his cabinet dropping a few people and appointing new ones. Those appointed in the new cabinet include people who are working very closely with Gen. Muhoozi’s Patriotic League of Uganda.

Those appointed and work closely with Muhoozi include; Balaam Barugahara Ateenyi who has been appointed minister for State minister for Youth and Children affairs and Lilian Aber appointed minister for state for relief and disaster preparedness. The two sit on the highest organ of PLU.

In the reshuffle, Museveni also dropped the Minister for Karamoja Dr. Goretti Kitutu, and the state minister for Karamoja Agnes Nandutu. These two have been charged criminally for helping themselves with iron sheets meant for the people of Karamoja. Among notable changes also; Museveni dropped the Minister for Defence and Veteran Affairs, Vincent Bamulangaki Ssempijja and replaced him with Jacob Oboth Oboth who has been the state minister for Defense.

Museveni has also appointed Dr Kenneth Omona as the State Minister for Northern Uganda Affairs. He replaced Omona who has been the Principal Private Secretary to the President with Asio Omaswa. Museveni also appointed Gen. Wilson Mbasu the current Chief of Defense Forces as minister of state of trade. Also dropped from cabinet include Kwiyuwinyi Grace Freedom and Harriet Ntabaazi.

Other new entrants include the Female Youth MP Phiona Nyamutoro as state minister for minerals. Overall, there has been very little change in the structure and shape of cabinet. Jessica Alupo retains her job as Vice President and Robinah Nabbanja as Prime Minister.
