Museveni meets Kanda Bongoman

President Yoweri Museveni has on Tuesday received a renowned musician Kanda Bongoman who paid a courtesy call on him at his farm in Kisozi, Gomba district.

The London-based artiste who was last in Uganda in 1994 and arrived in the country two days ago, praised President Museveni for the tremendous developments that have taken place in the country.

 
"I was so surprised. The country has changed completely; the roads, security, and peace. I really thank you very much and I have come to greet you and wish you and your family a happy prosperous new year," the artiste said.

President Museveni, on his part, welcomed Kanda Bongoman to Uganda and informed him that all the changes were possible because of the security and peace that the NRM government ushered into the country.

 
He added that the remaining struggle is to work for the bigger market that can accommodate the surplus products now being produced by the population that has started waking up to increase agricultural production of maize, milk, sugar, bananas and factory products that are a glut in the local market.

He, therefore, emphasized the need to have a bigger market in East Africa and Africa for the products that are now in excess.
