As is his norm, appointing, reappointment and dropping leaders in various positions - President Museveni once again did the same as he released new lists of newly his newly appointed advisors in various categories.
On there, the Commander in Chief retained his son Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugana as Senior Presidential Advisor on Special operations and his brother Gen. Salim Saleh as Senior Presidential Advisor on Defense.
Notable to note on the list too is a promotion of his fellow Bush war veteran Al Hajji Abdul Nadduli to Senior Presidential Advisor on Political Mobilization.
In his new role, Nadduli will have terms and benefits like thiecof a cabinet minister! Could this be a compensation? In the recent past, the former minister without portfolio had been criticizing the NRM ruling government which he cautioned on clearing up its recurring mess!
