As of today the Executive, the 7th Term of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni that started now recently after a rigged election. There been selected 31 Ministers, 49 Minster of State and one Vice President. The total amount of honorable Ministers is 80! The one career that is resurrected as he is the ‘Minster for crocodiles’ Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafiire, the man who lost NRM Primaries this last fall in 2015, and lost again in the General Election in 2016, still he was able to escape and be get brownie points for Mzee.
Hon. Betty Kamya who has defended and attacked Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) and Besigye through her campaign, have been also elevated as she run for the Uganda Federal Alliance (UFA), she took over the Minister for Kampala City after Hon. Frank Tumbewaze who is now the Minister for Information, ICT and Communication, a Ministerial Post; that the now gone MP Gen. Jim Muhwezi.
Well, the good news is that Dr. Chris Baryomusi went to the Ministry of State of Housing, went from Health Care, where he said it wasn’t a big deal with the missing Cobalt 60 Teletheraphy machine at Mulago Hospital and the Uganda Cancer Institute, as the Cancer Patients’ would die anyway… So there is some justice in his demoted state into state minister for Housing… the people who has sickness in Uganda should be giddy, but wished that he was out of Parliament as he was so despicable when the Health Care scandal of Mulago came to light!
Well, then there Hon. Simon Lodoko, who for some reason are Minister of State for Ethics and Integrity… who wanted to sack Dr. Stella Nyanzi after her naked crusade after unethical political motivated in April 2016 from Makerere University.
And you have the wonderful Al-Hajji Abdul Nadduli, the former NRM Vice-Chairmen for the Central Region, gotten the fantastic Ministerial Post that I hope to have one day in my own country; Minister Without Portefolio. He can chill and get the brown-envelope with Ministerial perks and be a secure vote in Parliament as he is a Minister in the Cabinet. If the man ever wants to do crap, and deliver a petition or notion in parliament, it will be a bonus, but he could just relax in Kabalagala or hang out at the ‘Chicken-In’ at Wandegeya.
Well, will not take on more Minister’s even if there more than in enough the Cabinet, as other die-hards and loyalist Gen. Henry Tukumunde aka Money Man of General Elections, got his corrupt hands into a ministry as well, together with other Musevenism ministers like Hon. Sam Kuteesa, Hon. Matia Kasaija, Hon. Adolf Mwesige, Hon. Irene Muloni, Hon. Dr. Elioda Tumwesigye, Hon. David Bhati, Hon. Sarah Ochient Opendi and Hon. Oryem Okello… that I can mention in haste, without caring for their ministries… 9 ministries and ministers, also the First Lady got a bigger role this time Hon. Janet Museveni, she was tired of the Karamoja and not enough funds to take from Northern Uganda Social Action Fund (NUSAF II)…
As for the ministers and amount of them, the Executive are hiring more loyal people around him, he want a giant royal court and be midlevel level, as he wants to be the king on the Iron Throne, with the AK-47 and have whispers from every corner as he wants to control all men of his kingdom. President Museveni, are hiring and hiring men who are loyal to him and men who went as independent, as they lost the NRM Primaries… but he still want them around as they are good people for him and will not sell him out, as long as they are kept fed. Take a look at the numbers!
“Museveni currently has 116 advisors in the Office of the President; but the statement suggests this number is to rise to 121 this financial year. This is 39 more than the number of advisors the president had at the beginning of his fourth elective presidential term in 2011” (…)”For instance, after the March 2015 cabinet reshuffle, former Attorney General Peter Nyombi and former Finance, Planning and Economic Development Minister Maria Kiwanuka joined the long list of presidential advisors who are former ministers. Some of the former ministers who are advisors include Gerald Ssendaula, Ham Mulira Mukasa, Ezra Suruma, Namirembe Bitamazire, Beatrice Wabudeya and Gen Salim Saleh. Others are former prime ministers Kintu Musoke and Apolo Nsibambi, former vice president Specioza Wandira Kazibwe, Dr James Makumbi and Muhammed Mayanja who were ministers in the 1990s” (Kaaya, 2016).
This proves that men who are loyal and silent without going into opposition, can expect to get a unelected position by serving President Museveni, as he likes loyalty and knowledge that him paying them keeps them close, as he knows the fellows who are corrupted by him and wants his corrupted behavior gone, will not be close; they will be silenced. The strange news from today was this:
“A further scrutiny of the list also found that former envoys Francis Butagira and Ibrahim Mukiibi are also presidential advisors. Two of the listed 116 advisors such as Hajji Badru Wegulo and Besweri Mulondo are dead” (Kaaya, 2016).
2 men are dead that are currently on the Presidential Advisory list of Uganda, that is explanatory of level of scrutiny the governance of Central government needs, the need for restructure and need for change from the Musevenism that everything circles around him and his visions, as they are now so corrupted and so owned by own personal gain… instead they are now all indebted to Museveni, instead of trying to build better government and ministries that serves the people, the citizens, instead they serve Museveni and wants to be in his court and get his word. That is why they want to be hired, instead of actually making a genuine difference and using the state affairs and state ministries to show accountability for state funds and their pledges. They are instead there all to serve President Museveni, and that is not a healthy functioning state, the government is paying for the bloated ministries, ministers, members of parliament, and all the loyal men that President Museveni keeps in his court, as the numbers of men on the State House Payroll, is also staggering, but that is for another day! This is just the official hiring, not the ones that serving the MPs, Ministries and State Ministers… Peace.
PS: I wonder who eats on the dead-men’s salaries, because surely somebody is catching in on the paychecks of the fallen Museveni soldiers… Think about that for a minute.
