Ministers who did not take oath on June 21 are set to be sworn in today at State House today, Thursday July 8, according to sources at the Cabinet Secretariat.
As many as 16 Ministers didn’t take their oaths at last month’s event organised at Kololo Independence Grounds.
Covid19 was blamed for their miss, with many reported to have come into contact with COVID19 positive people while others were sick from the deadly viral disease.
Due to the need to ensure safety from Covid19, the event will be organised on a purely scientific model, with the rest of the country following it on Television and other media channels.
Milly Babirye Babalanda, the Minister for the Presidency, is also among those set to take oath today having missed the previous occasion due to Covid19 scare.
Also taking oath is Alice Kaboyo who had missed out after the Appointments Committee rejected her, but later made a u-turn (Read our previous reporting here: How past corruption record made Janet Museveni cousin Alice Kaboyo miss minister job)
