Museveni appoints Democratic party president Nobert Mao to the position of minister of Justice and constitutional affaire
Leaders across Acholi Sub-region have welcomed the appointment of Democratic Party president general Norbert Mao as the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs.
After signing a cooperation agreement with the DP steward on Wednesday, President Museveni appointed Mao to the Cabinet.
Mr Mao, who is the leader of Uganda’s oldest political party since 2010, has previously been criticised by the Opposition elements for “hobnobbing with the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party.”
“The appointment of Mr Mao and himself entering a deal with the NRM government is a delayed process because someone already knew they were jogging for something bigger.”
Mr Ambrose Olaa, the Acholi Chiefdom premier, said the appointment was a real deal for Mr Mao since he is a national leader who has been fighting to help the government pursue a national interest.
“I don’t think if he remained at DP he would achieve much, let’s focus on the big Uganda, but not the small squabbles arising out of the appointment. Political interests can be brought together to achieve something great for the people of Uganda,” Mr Olaa said.
