SERIES: Religion and tribe play a big role in Uganda’s cabinet appointments II

Must read

President Yoweri Museveni came to power in 1986 after a five-year war fought mainly in what is today known as the Luwero Triangle.

Since that time he has been in power for 31 years, the longest-serving President of Uganda, and during that time he has had hundreds of Ministers, Deputy Ministers and Ministers of State.

It is instructive to note that despite not being official government positions, over the years two factors: religion and tribe have played a big role in determining how the ‘political cake’ in Uganda is distributed.

As a result, in the first Museveni governments between 1986 and 2008, cumulatively there were 82 cabinet members, of whom 29 were from the Northern and Eastern regions of Uganda.

Today, in the second of seven-part series we bring you the men and women from the two regions who served as Ministers/Deputy Ministers/State Ministers over that period that spanned a cumulative total of 22 years.
