Museveni Still Positive for COVID, Delegates VP to Inspect Parade

President Museveni has tested positive for for COVID 19 seven days after the first test was done, although he feels ready to move out of self- isolation.

"We had to do it because we had pressure on the diplomatic front because the other six Presidents of Africa from the Comoros, Egypt, South Africa, Senegal, Congo- Brazzaville and Zambia are supposed to arrive in Poland tomorrow to take the train trip to Kiev to mediate in the Russia- Ukraine war," the president said.

"Since I am not travelling to Kiev and Russia, I will be able to address Parliament tomorrow at a distance of 300m on the budget Day. 

Otherwise, I had delegated the whole effort to VP Alupo. Now that I am not travelling, she will inspect the Parade for me, take the salute for the match past and I will make my brief remarks at the end of budget speech," Museveni added.
