They were smiling not so long ago after being named in President Museveni’s cabinet. But now we are informed the hearts of ministers in Uganda have started pumping fearing to lose their ministerial posts as Uganda’s number one, Gen. Yoweri Museveni has started preparing to reshuffle his cabinet.

State house sources say that the country’s Vice President, Edward Kiwanuka Sekandi is going to serve for two years and five months before he is replaced. We are told this is to give a chance to other officials in government also to serve.

But if the VP works well, he will retain his job, the source said. The prime minister, Amama Mbabazi is expected to replace Sekandi if the man from Masaka fails to deliver.

The source says that Museveni is expected to reshuffle almost half of his cabinet during the next cabinet reshuffle expected in the middle of Museveni’s current term.

The source at State house whose name begins with M says that the president will reshuffle any minister who will fail to perform to the president’s expectation in the period of two years and five months.
