Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has appointed a new Minister of Energy & Mineral Development in a cabinet reshuffle.
The newly sworn-in Minister of Energy and Mineral Development, Ruth Nankabirwa, replaces Mary Kitutu.
Kitutu was appointed Minister for Karamoja Affairs. President Museveni is six months into his new tenure as
President after winning a tightly contested election.
Before her appointment, Nankabirwa was a Chief Whip and a past Minister of Defence.
Sidronius Okasai has been appointed as Deputy Minister of State for Energy & Minerals.
Nankabirwa, a strong supporter of President Museveni and a Member of Parliament for Kiboga district, lost her seat in the last election.
