The long anticipated cabinet list that has been the talk of the 10th parliament in the corridors of power has been released. President Yoweri Museveni in this post election reshuffle named the new cabinet that retained the prime minister and other major ministers like the finance and energy ministers. In a fresh twist he appointed First Lady Janet Museveni as the minister of education and sports, having 27 women ministers out of the 80 that were named.
Reactions about the appointments have been flowing in since
Congratulations to the newly appointed Cabinet Ministers and Ministers of State. All the best… #Uganda

Other surprise in new #Uganda cabinet is Betty Kamya, former challenger to Museveni under FDC & own party, as Minister for Kampala.

Another lousy Cabinet lineup. Shows #Museveni is really not after service delivery for 2016-21 as he claims. But #Uganda has seen days!

Kanyeihamba: Uganda will never achieve middle income status in the lifetime of President Museveni. This Cabinet is a non-performing Cabinet
