Government clears 80 minister for President Museveni.Parliament's Appointments Committee has officially approved 80 out of 82 ministerial nominees presented by President Yoweri Museveni for the 2026–2031 government term. The decision, led by Speaker Jacob Oboth Oboth and Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa, followed an intensive two-day vetting exercise.
Key Details of the Clearance
Vetting Outcome: Out of 82 submitted names, 80 nominees were successfully approved and forwarded back to the President for final clearance.
Pending Nominees: One nominee was unable to be fully vetted on time, while another's approval is under review.
The Dual Citizenship Hurdle: The appointment of Dr. Lawrence Muganga as Internal Affairs Minister has stalled due to ongoing review regarding legal requirements for dual citizenship.
Executive Expansion Background
Prior to the vetting process, Parliament voted heavily in favor of a government motion to vary constitutional limits under Articles 113 and 114. This legally expanded the executive cabinet from its original baseline to accommodate President Museveni's 83-member executive team, which includes 30 Cabinet Ministers and 51 Ministers of State.
Prominent Cabinet Figures Maintained
The finalized executive lineup centers heavily on political continuity, retaining top leadership figures:
Vice President: Jessica Alupo
Prime Minister: Robinah Nabbanja
Education & Sports: First Lady Janet Museveni
Local Government: Dr. Balaam Barugahara
Justice & Constitutional Affairs: Norbert Mao
