Just after news of his sacking leaked in several Busoga WhatsAPP groups, Mr Andrew Ntange, the outgoing kingdom’s information minister left the groups.
He, and Youth Minister, Suleiman Kazibwe Hashim, are the only two ministers the Kyanazinga of Busoga, William Nadiope IV, dropped in a mini reshuffle of the Bugembe leadership.
Mr Ntange has been replaced by veteran talkative Lusoga news reader Michael Kifubangabo with an expanded portfolio; mass mobilization, information and promotion of unity.
Mr Hashim, was probably dropped after abdicating his ministerial post for London.
Mr Kifubangabo held the information portfolio by the time of the death of the former Kyabazinga, Wako Muloki.
His appointment could be interpreted as a move by the Bugembe administration to extend an olive branch to the disgruntled Bulamogi Chiefdom who are yet to come to terms with the fact that their chief is not the Kyabazinga.
Another pick from the Muloki old hat is MUBs principal and former Busoga Prime Minister, Wasswa Balunywa who has been appointed to chair the Busoga Royal Concepts board.
Technically, Busoga Royal Concepts board is the investment and business arm of the Kingdom.
On the board are prominent business people including serial Kenya investor and business partner to Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kuteesa, Amina Hersi Moghe.
Ms Hersi is the lady behind Oasis Mall,Laburnam apartments and the controversial land acquisition of APAA land in northern Uganda where they want to set up a sugar factor.
