President Yoweri Museveni has appointed State Minister for Education, John Chrysostom Muyingo, as the Acting Minister of Education and Sports.
In a statement released on Thursday, Museveni appointed Muyingo in the exercise of his duty as the Acting minister of Education and Sports in the absence of a substantive Minister.
“In exercise of the powers vested in the President under Article 99(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has appointed Hon. John Chrysostom Muyingo as the Acting minister of Education and Sports in the absence of a substantive Minister” he said.
President Museveni noted that the appointment takes immediate effect.
On Wednesday, while wishing his wife Janet Museveni a Happy birthday, Museveni revealed that she has been having an ailing health condition for several months.
“Sitaane, 3 months ago, on the 21st of March, 2026, launched an attack on the life of Maama. However, sitaane miscalculated. The 21st of March is a good day for the Resistance. That is when we defeated the counter-attack of Idi Amin at Rugaando (12 miles from Mbarara) in 1979. God, using good doctors, saved Maama’s life and she is now recovering well.” Museveni posted on his official X handle.
