President Museveni has enacted changes within his cabinet, with significant shifts and new appointments. Among the adjustments, Mary Goretti Kitutu, the Minister for Karamoja Affairs, has been replaced by Peter Lokeris. This change comes amidst allegations against Kitutu related to the misappropriation of iron sheets intended for the Karachuna warriors in Karamoja.
