There are two lists in the piece. Whether the first (which is styled as ‘M7’s list’) is accurate remains to be seen.
The Ethics portfolio could be something of a ‘poisoned chalice’. Buturo did not fare well in that role (a widespread view is that he achieved almost nothing – just made a lot of noise).
Still, I don’t like it …

The illusion/pretend I notice in Uganda is that many from Orombi to Bahati (and First Lady Janet Museveni inbetween) right down to the regular citizens seem to selectively pontificate about morals and ethics– they seem to think they know what ¨good¨ morals and ethical conduct represent in a country laced with vertical corruption, child witchburing, civil war, human slavery and the rampant abusing of fellow citizens…the whole of the unholy social mess is a hypocritical joke…¨The Red Pepper¨ illustrates, often near naked literally, the truth of the ¨situation¨nicely…meanwhile evangelical money helps blur the National Self-image…¨what a dangerous web we weave = self deceive¨
