\nPresident Museveni has July 21 appointed Opposition Democratic Party President Nobert Mao as the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, President Museveni and the opposition Democratic Party (DP) president general, Mr Norbert Mao \u00a0signed a \u2018cooperation agreement.\u2019<\/p>\n

The National Unity Platform Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya said that the pretense is over and the agreement explains why Mao was attacking NUP.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pretense is over. Explains the attacks on NUP. Hope this clears the air for those who always ask about “opposition unity” in Uganda. Like I have persistently said, the mistake some analysts make is to assume that everyone who calls themselves opposition is actually opposition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The latest development has been confirmed by the presidential deputy press secretary Faruk Kirunda.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mao officially becomes the substantive minister for this ministry replacing Maj Gen Kahiinda Otafiire who was reshuffled from this position last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ministry has since been in the custody of public service Muruli Mukasa in acting position.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile the president has also appointed Hamson Obua who has been the state minister for sports and Education as the government chief whip.<\/span><\/p>\n

This position has been vacant ever since Thomas Tayebwa resigned to become deputy speaker.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obua has been replaced by Peter Ogwang who has been the minister of state for economic monitoring in the office of the president.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Ogwang has been replaced by Akori woman MP Beatrice Akello.<\/span><\/p>\n
