Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has accepted an invitation to speak at the Kusi Ideas Festival, which is organized by Nation Media Group (NMG), East and Central Africa’s largest media organization.
The festival, which debuted in 2019 as part of NMG’s 60th anniversary celebrations, is billed as a “ideas transaction market” for Africa’s concerns and the different solutions and innovations the continent is pursuing to guarantee its future. This year’s edition will be held in Accra, Ghana, following editions in Kigali, Rwanda, and Kisumu, Kenya.
The invitation was delivered by NMG Board Chairperson Wilfred Kiboro during a meeting between the President and senior NMG executives at State House Ent.
During the cordial meeting, Mr Museveni reiterated that Uganda is peaceful, stable, and has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.
“Uganda is a very strong country,” Mr Museveni said. “The economy is very strong and the army is very strong and some people are not happy with that.”
Mr Kiboro thanked President Museveni for leading Uganda’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and pledged the support of NMG platforms in the country in encouraging mass vaccination against Covid-19.
