The inclusion of Tumwebaze on the committee that will vet nominated cabinet ministers and ministers of state (junior ministers had left many suggest Museveni had dropped him.

And Kiwanda seems to have been right, especially if the leaked cabinet list published by Daily Monitor is anything to go by.
