President Yoweri Museveni has appointed John Chrysostom Muyingo as Uganda's acting Minister of Education and Sports in the absence of a substantive minister.
"In exercise of the powers vested in the President under Articale 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," reads a statement issued by the Presidential Press Unit.
"The appointment takes immediate effect."
Muyingo steps into the role having been appointed the higher education state minister in the latest Cabinet.
The docket is led by the First Lady, Janet Museveni, who was reappointed to the role but is now recovering after falling ill in March this year, according to President Museveni.
In his message celebrating her 78th birthday on Wednesday, Museveni spoke of the First Lady's state of health.
"Sitaane, three 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."
