Information Minister Dr. Chris Baryomunsi says that a careful study will be needed to establish whether there is a need to scrap off some ministries under the ongoing rationalization process of some government agencies.

This is one of the proposals Ugandans think might limit government expenditure after the World Bank announced plans to cut off funding to the country over the recently signed Anti-Homosexuality law.

Speaking on the state of governance in Uganda, minister Baryomunsi said it will be risky to remove ministries without a careful study, explaining that the move would affect service delivery to the community.

He explained that over the last few years, government has been studying the operations of government agencies and Cabinet took a decision to either merge or remove some agencies. Government also considered returning some agencies to their mother ministries without losing their functions.
