A fresh war of words has erupted between Masaka City Woman MP Justine Nameere and Leader of the Opposition Joel Ssenyonyi, with Nameere accusing opposition leaders of exploiting public events for political gain.

President Museveni surprised delegates at Kololo during the national budget reading after openly admitting that the fiery personalities of Balaam Barugahara and Juliet Nameere played a role in their appointments to the Ministry of Local Government.

President Museveni has released Uganda’s 2026–2031 Cabinet list, retaining top leadership while making notable changes, including Balaam Barugahara’s elevation to full Cabinet and key ministerial swaps across finance, health, ICT and defence.

Masaka City Woman MP-elect Justine Nameere has pledged to dedicate Shs5 million from her monthly parliamentary salary to financially support single mothers across the country.

Justine Nameere has vowed to challenge the Masaka City Woman MP election results in court, alleging that votes from 81 polling stations were not counted and accusing the Electoral Commission of irregularities.

Justine Nameere has blamed Rebecca Kadaga’s humiliating loss in the NRM race on her “untamed mouth” and threats to the party.
