Ugandan government appointments and anti-corruption efforts

Overview

President Yoweri Museveni appointed Juma Witonze Kisekka as State Minister for Internal Affairs, filling a vacancy that followed the parliamentary rejection of a previous nominee due to citizenship concerns. Witonze, a National Resistance Movement mobilizer, was vetted and approved by the Parliamentary Appointments Committee.

Following this appointment, President Museveni has focused on anti-corruption efforts, supporting field inspection tours led by ministers to identify irregularities in government systems. These tours aim to expose issues such as the sale of local government jobs and irregularities within the Parish Development Model. Museveni has called for the Director of Public Prosecutions to assign dedicated officers to facilitate the prosecution of those found involved in criminal wrongdoing.
