Years later, President Yoweri Museveni has finally found another lady to take up former presidential aspirant Maureen Walube Kyalya’s place at State House. The President recently appointed Hellen Namutamba to replace Kyalya as Presidential Advisor on poverty alleviation in Busoga sub region.
The sociable and outspoken Hellen has been and still is the Tourism Minister for Busoga Kingdom.
Our sources told us that she insisted on juggling the two positions since she looks at her new posting as one that might bring about useful connections and powerful contacts that could help her in boosting tourism and other developmental activities in her region. Our source told us Hellen got the job after being flaunted by Busoga’s top politician and kingmaker, Speaker Rebecca Kadaga.
