HILLARY BETT
President Yoweri Museveni's tenure in Uganda has seen significant involvement of his family in governmental roles. His wife, Janet Museveni, serves as the Minister of Education and Sports.
Their son, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has held prominent military positions, including Commander of the Land Forces and Chief of Defence Forces. Muhoozi has been a central figure in military operations, such as the joint offensive in Eastern Congo against the Allied Democratic Forces.
Additionally, Museveni's younger brother, General Caleb Akandwanaho, known as Salim Saleh, has been influential in defence and security sectors, previously serving as a senior presidential advisor on defense.
This concentration of family members in key government and military positions has sparked discussions about nepotism and the consolidation of power within the Museveni family.
