In his usual humorous style – President Yoweri Museveni has explained the logic behind his new cabinet saying he followed Jesus Christ’s footsteps and opted for “fishermen” instead of the intellectuals or highly learned people .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during the 2021\/22 budget reading , Museveni he did not consult anyone when coming up with his new cabinet a process he said was so exhausting that he did not fill the vacant post of Minister of Justice and constitutional Affairs .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museveni’s cabinet has been welcomed as a progressive one in which the Chief Executive balanced the age groups , gender , regional politics among others . He explained that just like Jesus when picking his disciples , he did not go for the highly educated Pharisees, Sadducees or the Levites, but went for the fishermen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJesus didn\u2019t recruit Pharisees, Sadducees or the Levites but he went for Simon Peter. Of course he also had some intellectuals such as Luke who was a doctor. So when you look at my list, know that I am in the path of Jesus Christ,\u201d Museveni said , adding that he was \u201cunderground, working alone.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen compiling the list, you are under a very big threat; this is one of the areas where I don\u2019t need assistance. \u201cMany of you are so good, I didn\u2019t know what to do, because there is religion, the tribes the balance\u2026\u201d Museveni explained adding that he even forgot one name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn the shortlist, I had the name of Kabyanga who was a mayor in Kasese, but when I came from underground and called Omona and one of secretaries to type the list, I realised I had forgotten Kabyanga\u2019s name.\u201d he said. Godgrey Kabyanga served as Mayor of Kasese Municipality for two terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was the NRM flag bearer seeking a third term, but he lost the seat to Forum for Democratic Change\u2019s, Chance Kahindo Sibyavugha, 10,937 to 11,572 votes.
