Army influence

Men with recent army background in cabinet – Gen.Jeje Odongo,  Lt.Gen.Henry Tumukunde,  Maj.Gen Kahinda Otaffire,  Lt.Col Tom Butime and Lt. COL Bright Rwamirama

Otafiire still in

Justice and constitutional affairs minister Kahinda Otafiire seems to have weathered the storm, in every sense of the word, after he lost his seat in the NRM party primaries and consequently, in the elections where he stood as an independent.

The fiery retired general has retained his portfolio in the new cabinet.
