President Museveni’s next Cabinet reshuffle has sparked widespread speculation, especially after the NRM retreat in Kyankwanzi where attendance lists were scrutinized to gauge loyalty.
MP-elect Justine Nameere, known for her vibrant personality and commanding presence, is seen as a potential surprise addition to the government. Compared to Evelyn Anite, her energetic style and public gestures have caught attention, positioning her as a fresh face in national politics.
Similarly, Mary Kamuli Kutesa Abwoli, the new MP for Mwenge County South in Kyenjojo District, brings experience from the Uganda Revenue Authority and Uganda National Roads Authority. Despite being lesser-known, she is tipped for a Cabinet role.
The author also favors Natasha Karugire for her potential to inject new energy, particularly in anti-corruption efforts. Museveni’s decisions remain unpredictable, but these women could form a dynamic trio.
