In short
Joseph Ssewungu, Kalungu MP and Democratic Party DP whip in parliament, says the expansion of cabinet will not solve the problems in government.
The speaker of parliament, Rebecca Kadaga has defended the expansion of cabinet, saying the creation of new ministries will boost service delivery.
The new cabinet positions include the Minister for Kampala, the Minister in charge of Science, Technology and Innovation, Minister for Karamoja Affairs and the Minister for Information, ICT and Communications.
These were previously state portfolios under the president's office and Office of the Prime Minister. Also created were positions for the State Minister for Kampala Capital City, Minister of State for Cooperatives, Minister of State for Veteran Affairs and Minister of State for East African Affairs. The posts are pending parliamentary approval.
Speaking at the women's national dialogue organised by the Forum for Women in Democracy (FOWODE), Kadaga said the split of some ministries to create new ones is aimed at improving service delivery to citizens.
