Museveni has removed several senior ministers in a sweeping cabinet reshuffle, bringing in new figures and technocrats as his new term gets underway.
President Museveni has removed several senior ministers and long-serving government officials in a major Cabinet reshuffle that introduces new political figures and technocrats while reorganising key ministries at the start of a new government term.
While Museveni's cabinet musical chairs grab headlines, Uganda's creative economy, which generated over $2 billion in 2023, remains trapped under ministries that treat culture as an afterthought rather than the economic powerhouse driving youth employment from Kampala to Gulu. The real question isn't which technocrat gets which portfolio, but whether this reshuffle finally recognizes that Ugandan artists, from Eddy Kenzo to the Nyege Nyege collective, are building more sustainable futures for young Africans than decades of traditional governance ever could.
