Justine Nameere named Minister of state for Local Government in new cabinet

Masaka District Woman Member of Parliament Hon. Justine Nameere has been named the Minister of State for Local Government in the new cabinet released by Presidential Press Unit May 26 evening. 

Nameere will serve under Hon  Balaam Barugahara who replaces Hon Raphael Magyezi as the Minister of Local Government.

Nameere's appointment waters down the charged political tension surrounding the  ongoing investigations into the alleged corruption and accountability failures by the Parliament under former Speaker Anita Among. The vibrant youthful legislator was briefly arrested after swearing in ceremony last week before being released by investigators. 

The appointments, a clever mix of youth and seasoned politicians paves the way for government business following the election of the Speaker of Parliament and Deputy Speaker.
