Uganda issues ‘special waiver’ to allow 4,000 attendees to president’s May 12 inauguration
KAMPALA, May 5 (NNN-AGENCIES) — The Ugandan Government through a ‘special waiver’ will allow over 4,000 people including 21 heads of state to attend President Yoweri Museveni’s 6th swearing-in ceremony on May 12.
The gathering of 4,042 people at the same function, is a break away from the government’s own 200-people maximum standard operating procedure (SOPs) instituted by Museveni himself for all public gatherings in a bid to combat the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
