Uganda's President Shakes Up Cabinet in Major Reshuffle

President Yoweri Museveni has removed several senior ministers and long-serving government officials in a major Cabinet reshuffle that introduces new political figures and technocrats while reorganising key ministries at the start of a new government term.

Museveni said the appointments were made under constitutional provisions governing executive authority, listing the Vice President, the Prime Minister, cabinet ministers, ministers of state, and senior presidential advisors. Former Finance Minister Matia Kasaija was replaced by his deputy, Henry Musasizi.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry also saw significant changes, with Ambassador Adonia Ayebare replacing General Jeje Odongo as Minister of Foreign Affairs. First Lady Janet Kataaha  Museveni retained her position as Minister of Education and Sports, marking continuity in one of the government's most closely watched dockets amid previous public speculation about her health and prolonged absence from public engagements.
