Ms Lenina Mbabazi and her husband Philp Rukikaire have been appointed envoys.
Ms Mbabazi is a daughter to former ‘super’ Minister Amama Mbabazi while her husband Mr Rukikaire is a son to former Minister for Privatization Mathew Rukikaire.
The two were crafted into foreign service less than two years ago and sources at Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicate that the couple will be posted to Canada where Mr Rukikaire is heading as head of mission (High Commissioner) while the wife will serve as First Secretary.
Mr Rukikaire will replace Ms Joy Ruth Acheng who the Canadian government declared persona non grata and who returned to Uganda last week. She was granted persona non grata after a seven paged protest letter was drafted to Kampala on personal behavior and the conduct of immediate family members.
Both Mbabazi and Rukikaire were members of the external wing of the National Resistance Army/Movement (NRA/M) that ushered in Mr Yoweri Museveni into power. The two were tasked with recruitment and resource mobilization for the rebellion.
