The Parliament’s Appointments Committee led by Speaker Anita Among today vetted and confirmed the newly appointed Ministers to Cabinet following the reshuffle by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Among those vetted is Baraam Barugahara, the newly appointed Minister of State for Youth and Children, Kitgum District Woman MP Lillian Aber, the newly appointed Minister of State for Relief and Disaster Preparedness.

Others are National Youth Representative MP, Phionah Nyamutoro, the State Minister for Energy and Mineral Development, former Chief of Defence Forces  Gen. Wilson Mbasu Mbadi, the State Minister for Trade and Florence Namboozo Wamala, the State Minister for Karamoja Affairs among other Ministers.

Shortly after his vetting was complete,  Minister of State for Youth and Children Barugahara told journalists that he is not in Cabinet to recruit youths to the MK Project, but rather to fix the problem of unemployment among the young people in the country. He said during his time in this Ministry, youths will be given an opportunity to choose their preferred skills of training instead of training all youths in chapatti and bricklaying as it has been the norm.

On her party, the Minister of State for Relief and Disaster Preparedness Lillian Aber expressed gratitude for having been appointed as a Minister, applauding President Yoweri Museveni  for trusting her for this position. She assured the country that she will serve with absolute diligence, ensuring service delivery is improved.
