President Yoweri Museveni has tasked the newly sworn-in ministers with operating cohesively and fighting corruption in the 2021-2026 term.
‘You people should be careful – there is no corruption I don’t know,’ he warned the new Cabinet in his remarks shortly after officiating over their taking of oath of office at Kololo Independence Grounds on Monday.
‘This is Cabinet of cohesion. We want cohesion in the system.’
Museveni highlighted the five targets for the new Cabinet as being:
1. Cohesion
2. No corruption
3. Integration
4. Patriotism
5. Service delivery
In his delivery, the President tasked the new Cabinet with ‘decisively pushing Uganda into the middle-income status’, promising to smash corrupt people.
He also provided justification for his picks for Vice-President (Jessica Alupo) and Prime Minister (Robinah Nabbanja).
‘Jessica Alupo is a hardworker and she listens to my advice,’ he said.
Then, describing Nabbanja as ‘the biggest Munyoro since Kabalega’, Museveni said she is ‘very committed, hardworking, a very active mobiliser and anti-corruption’.
Meanwhile, the first sitting of the new Cabinet will be next week Monday, June 28.
The swearing-in function happened at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds.
