Dear Reader,
This is to present to you the October edition of our monthly e-magazine, The Presidency. This monthly e-publication highlights the major engagements of His Excellency the President and the entire Presidency for the month of October.
In the month of October, His Excellency received a number of Diplomatic delegations including President and Chairman of the Africa Export-Import (AFREXIM) Bank, Chairman of Arab Bank for Economic Development (BADEA) and the Secretary General of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AcFTA).
His Excellency bid farewell to the outgoing French Ambassador, H.E. Jules-Armand Aniambossou, who has completed his tour of duty. He also received credentials from the newly accredited Ambassadors; H.E. Signe Winding Albjerg, representing the Kingdom of Denmark and H.E. Jan Sadek, representing the European Union.
On the development agenda, the President commissioned the Country’s pioneer mRNA vaccine manufacturing facility, Dei Biopharma Pharmaceutical Company located in Matugga, Wakiso District, as well as, Kawumu Tannery Uganda, a factory that adds value to hides and skins, the first one in Uganda, and located in Luwero District.
His Excellency and the First Lady hosted the country’s 24th National Breakfast during the month, and also led several Heads of State and Government, Heads of Delegations and the entire country through celebrations marking Uganda’s 60th Independence anniversary.
As is the practice, in this edition, we have annexed His Excellency’s address to the Nation on the occasion of marking Uganda’s 60th Independence anniversary, held on 9th October, 2022, at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds.
Lastly, we urge citizens to remain vigilant in the face of Ebola outbreak in some parts of Central Uganda. We implore you to continue observing the guidance given by His Excellency the President and Ministry of Health.
I now have the pleasure to present to you the 16th edition of The Presidency.
