President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has reshuffled his cabinet just months away from the election period.

Mr. Museveni who is expected to run again for presidency next year when the campaign season is opened, has made changes that included the long awaited Ministerial rewards for age limit champions.

He has also changed work stations of Gen. Kahinda Otafiire, Hon. Frank Tumwebaze and appointed his Principal Private Secretary Ms Molly Kamukama as Minister.
