Cabinet Directs Ministers to Make Official Government Announcements at Media Centre

​

Hon. Minister Justine Kasule Lumumba

Cabinet has directed all government ministers and senior officials to make official government communications through the Uganda Media Centre in a move aimed at reducing contradictory statements and improving public access to accurate information.

The resolution was passed during a Cabinet meeting held at State House, Entebbe, on Monday, November 2, 2026, after the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance presented guidelines on the use of the Media Centre by ministers and senior government officials.

The guidelines were adopted, with only the President, Vice President and Prime Minister exempted from the directive.

Speaking to the media at the Uganda Media Centre on Tuesday, ICT and National Guidance Minister Justine Kasule Lumumba said the measure was intended to ensure that Ugandans receive clear and consistent information from government.
