The Archbishop, accompanied by Brother Innocent and Rev. Fr. Lawrence Mutikka Mutebi arrived a few minutes after the official toast by the Germany ambassador in Uganda, Klaus Dieter Duxmann and the State Minister for regional corporation, Asuman Kiyingi.

After greeting the Ambassador, the jolly Archbishop moved to the audience and greeted almost everyone, finding them at their tables and posing for photographs with them.

Most guests who had not expected the ‘big guest’ to show such courtesy grabbed the opportunity to pose for photographs with him using personal cameras and phones, including state minister for economic monitoring, Henry Banyenzaki and Bukoto South MP Mathias Nsubuga.

The Ambassador said that Germany has committed 119.5m Euros as a non-repayable grant for the period of 2013 to 2015 to be invested in three local sectors of cooperation. These include sanitation, renewable energies and energy efficiency as well as financial systems development.
