In one of the latest episodes in the politics of the ruling National Resistance Movement party, supporters are today set to hold a mega birthday for President Museveni, who is also the national chairman.
According to Hadijah Namyalo, a Senior Presidential Advisor on political affairs in the Office of the NRM national chairperson, hundreds of guests are expected for the event that will also be used to remember Katonga victims and bush war heroes.
She explains that Museveni, who has been president since January 1986, will clock 79 on September 15th.
However, the party’s youth have organized the birthday party today because they did not want other engagements to keep the president away from what they dubbed a mega birthday party
Meanwhile the police have issued guidelines to be followed by motorists as President Museveni today celebrates his 79th birthday at Kololo Independence Grounds.
Kampala Metropolitan Traffic police commander, Godwin Arinaitwe says there will be normal traffic flow at the Golf Course traffic lights towards Acacia Avenue.
However motorists will not be allowed to access Upper Kololo Terrace, Elgon Terrace and Lower Kololo Terrace where only VVIPs will be allowed.
