He is the former Minister of Information and National Guidance in the Ugandan Cabinet. He had been appointed to that position in a cabinet reshuffle on 1 March 2015,[1] replacing Rose Namayanja, who was dropped from the Cabinet.[2] Also, he is the former Member of Parliament (MP) representing "Rujumbura County", Rukungiri District.[3] Background and educationHe was born in Rukungiri District on 23 August 1950. Jim Muhwezi holds the degree of Bachelor of Laws (LLB), from Makerere University, Uganda's oldest and largest public university. He also has received Senior Military Police and Security Intelligence Training from Tanzania and the former Soviet Union.[3] In July 2009, the Law Development Center in Kampala awarded him the Diploma in Legal Practice, the prerequisite to enrolling as an advocate in Uganda and for obtaining a license to practice law in the country.[4] Work experienceIn the 1970s Jim Muhwezi worked as a policeman in the Uganda Police Force. He was one of the combatants in the war (1981–1986) that ushered the National Resistance Movement into power. After the war, he served as a member of the National Resistance Council (NRC) from 1986 until 1996. During the same period, he concurrently served as the first Director General of the Internal Security Organisation (ISO). As head of ISO, Muhwezi is credited with cleaning up the reputation and image of the security police apparatus. During his ten-year tenure at the agency, no allegations of torture were raised against the agency.[5] Between 1994 and 1995, he served as a member of the Constituent Assembly that drew up the 1995 Ugandan Constitution.

The Commission recommended prosecution, restitution and possible imprisonment if found guilty.[6] In a cabinet reshuffle one week before the Commission Report was made public, President Museveni removed all three ministers from his cabinet.[7] On Sunday 27 May 2007, Major General (Retired) Jim Muhwezi Katugugu, the former Minister of Health turned himself in to the police, was arrested, booked and sent to Luzira prison, on charges of (a) abuse of office (b) theft and (c) embezzlement of over Sh1b (approximately US$500,000) in donor funds for immunization.[8] Three days later, he appeared before a High Court Judge, made bail and was released.[9] The case was dropped on 31 July 2012, and Muhwezi was acquitted.[10] Personal detailsJim Muhwezi Katugugu is married to Susan Muhwezi, with whom he has seven children.
