PHOTOS: Museveni’s roadside phone call disrupts transport operations

Photos of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni seated on the roadside while phoning a recipient have thrown social media into a tizzy.

The photos, that surfaced online Tuesday morning, show Museveni seated on a patio chair a few meters from his convoy.

Museveni reportedly made the atypical show en route to State House, Kampala, after attending the World Population Day celebrations in Isingiro District, western Uganda.

The pictures were shared by Ugandan government spokesman Ofwono Opondo. However, information about the recipient of Museveni’s call remain scanty.

Expectedly, the President’s spectacle captured the attention of pedestrians and one motorist, whom he gestured with a thumb-up while on phone.

Museveni’s phone call lasted nearly 30 minutes, with transport operations along the highway disrupted throughout the period.

The President went ahead to give a gen to the locals who stood on the roadside completely awestruck.

Museveni’s press secretary, Lindah Nabusayi, took to her Twitter account to share several photos of Museveni’s tour in Isingiro.

Isingiro locals are seen thanking Museveni for the newly tarmacked 74 kilometer road that links Uganda to Tanzania through Kikagati.
