Shortly after the opening of Busia market, President Museveni was compelled to address a crowd that converged outside the market.
Mr Museveni, the presidential candidate of the ruling National Resistance Movement’s (NRM), had his face mask on and stood a distance away from crowd, but a majority of those in the crowd did not have masks and were not practicing social distancing for which Mr Museveni and the NRM took quite a bashing.
An appearance such as was witnessed in Busia Town was one of the very few where Mr Museveni was visible to the ordinary folk since November 9 last year when he kicked off his re-election campaign.
