Museveni dropps Muganga, appoints Kisekka State minister for Internal Affairs

President Yoweri Museveni has appointed Juma Witonze Kisekka as the new Minister of State for Internal Affairs, Daily Star has learned.

Kisekka’s appointment comes amid changes within the ministry, following the removal of Lawrence Muganga over questions surrounding his citizenship status.

Sources indicate that the appointment is part of ongoing efforts to streamline leadership within the Internal Affairs ministry, which plays a critical role in national security, immigration and internal administration.

Muganga’s exit has drawn public attention in recent days, with concerns raised about eligibility requirements for public office, particularly citizenship compliance for senior government officials.

Further details regarding Kisekka’s swearing-in and immediate priorities are yet to be made public.
