I was not involved in Akena's disqualification from Presidential race — Museveni

Museveni said: “Not at all. I did not even know that Akena Jimmy wanted to stand (for president). I just saw it in the papers. I did not know. Then, I got some information. I tried to check, and I found that it was mainly a legal problem on their side. So, it was legal. It was not political. I do not remember the details. They were supposed to do this and that. But it was legal. It had nothing to do with politics.”
