Uganda: Report Reveals Former Health Ministers Likely Embezzled Money
This article talks about some different ministers in Uganda who are facing criminal charges related to graft and mismanagement in a $210 million health project.

They likely will just be re-appointed to different jobs in the government a result of the charges.
