As Ugandans await the president to release a new cabinet, Members of parliament have expressed mixed reaction on the cabinet they desire to be named by the president as he runs a new term of office. The member of parliament for Igara west  in Bushenyi district Rapheal Magyezi says that the people advocating for a small size of cabinet should  cause constitutional amendments since the president bases on the constitution  to appoint the number of ministers in the cabinet.

The Member of Parliament for Gulu municipality Leander Komakech says that the president should have ministers who have the technical capacity to deliver services to the intended community. The woman member of parliament for Mitoma district Jovah Kamateka says that the new cabinet should be focusing on the NRM party manifesto.

MPS Bernard Atiku and Joshua Anyarach want cabinet of youth and one which will own government projects.
