Experts Warn Museveni to desist from reappointing Ministers who lost the 2021 elections. Museveni’s cabinet is now the thing on every one’s mouth. This so because most of his ministers lost the elections to their counterparts.
On this note, experts have advised Museveni that just in case, their aim is to fulfill the NRM manifesto, then he should leave work with a new cabinet.
Former East African Legislative Assembly legislator, Yona Kanyomozi says Museveni should be careful how he deploys people voters rejected.
“I am not saying they shouldn’t be brought back, they can be, but with caution so that you don’t step on the feet of the thinking of these people. They have thrown them out, now why did they throw them out? You need to answer that.”
Nicholas Opiyo, a famous lawyer in town says competence is the least requirement in this government. He thinks this should change and now.
“History has shown that president Museveni pays little attention to competence while appointing ministers, he focuses on other considerations such as tribal ethnic, religious etc.”
“When we look at agreements this country is signing, ministers go and negotiate loans and other agreements without technical expertise and what you are beginning to see within ministry are intent fights between technocrats and ministers because technocrats see ministers are inept.”
Almost 20 ministers lost the elections in January 2021. Some people have been anticipating that probably Museveni will bring them back in his cabinet.
We are yet to see how this will go because it is also very crucial in the government and how it works.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
