There are 30 Cabinet ministers and 50 Ministers of State in the Cabinet of Uganda (2021 to 2026).[1][2] The number of state ministers reduced by one in September 2024 after the death of Hon. Sarah Mateke who was the state minister for defence.[3][4]

According to Section 111 of the 1995 Constitution of Uganda, as amended in 2005, "There shall be a Cabinet which shall consist of the President, the Vice President, the Prime Minister and such number of Ministers as may appear to the President to be reasonably necessary for the efficient running of the State."[5] Ministers are responsible before the Parliament, which can force their resignation by passing a motion of censure although the motion is no an end its self since the President has the final say about it. If the president does not drop the minister censured by parliament, he/she continues to be a minister as the case is with Hon. Persis Namuganza who was censured by the 11th Parliament in January 2023 for misconduct but continued to hold office as state minister for housing and even returned after the cabinet reshuffle in March 2024.[6][7][8][9]
