Beti Kamya will have the last laugh after so many in opposition believed she had been used and dumped.
Beti Kamya lost her cabinet position of minister of lands and urban when President Yoweri Museveni released the new list two months ago.
The former Kampala minister and opposition bigwig has bounced back as Inspector General of Government.
President Museveni today evening released a statement confirming the appointment of the former Dr. Kizza Besigye’s special envoy as IGG.
Kamya will be deputized by Anne Muhairwe, the President of the Uganda Christian Lawyers Fraternity.
