President Museveni has made changes in his cabinet by dropping the Minister for Karamoja Affairs, Mary Goretti Kitutu and replacing her with Peter Lokeris.

Kitutu is currently facing charges related to swindling iron sheets meant for the Karachuna warriors in Karamoja.

In a reshuffle which has seen few changes, Kampala businessman and events promoter Balaam Barugahara Ateenyi has been appointed the state minister for children and youth affairs.
