Ministers panic as fake cabinet reshuffle list circulates on social media, excited fake appointees curse joke of the day

By Watchdog reporter

Earlier today our lovely ministers got a shock of their lives when one social media joke cracker faked a list of cabinet reshuffle.

You would have seen the affected ministers’ aggrieved faces, some even almost fainted; they couldn’t believe their eyes whereas some were as already up to the moon due the much excitement got from the new ‘cabinet reshuffle list’ naming them as the new ministers in various sectors.

Can you believe that in the fake cabinet reshuffle, the controversial senior presidential advisor on media issues Tamale Mirundi was named Minister for Kampala, Sheikh Nuhu Muzaata, the head of Da’awa was also named Minister in Charge of Islamic affairs, Aidah Nantaba replaced Frank Tumwebaze as cabinet minister for ICT, Tumwebaze replaced Abdul Naduuli as Minister without portfolio also Godfrey Kiwanda replaced his boss Ephraim Kamuntu to become Cabinet Minister for Tourism and Antiquities among others.

This fake list was indeed a shocker to many of the ministers and it almost sent some into coma.

If it was not for Senior Presidential Press Secretary Don Wanyama and government Spokesperson Ofwono Opondo to save the day, many affected ministers would be cursing President Yoweri Museveni aand probably some would be dead by now after receiving the trying news.

“Ministers #UgCabinet don’t have a heart attack #NoCabinetReshuffle. Ignore fake news on social media” said Opondo.

Below is the fake cabinet reshuffle list;
