UGANDA: Photo of Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni making a phone call by the roadside and being waited for by his entire presidential escort team has gone viral on social media, July 12.

He sat on a chair by the road and spoke on the phone for about 30 minutes, as his security detail waited. He directed the officers not to block traffic.

Museveni was on his way from Isingiro district where he presided over World Population Day celebrations.

After the call, residents lauded Museveni for tarmacking the 74km road that links Uganda to Tanzania through Kikagati in Isingiro district. The project cost USh178 billion.

The people asked the President to engage solar distributors in reducing the cost of batteries, which sell at USh400,000. They also want him to ask power distributors to supply electricity at a cheaper cost.
