“I urge the organisers of this festival and those who will be presenting their works, to highlight Kampala City as we have achieved lots of success in sports,†Namayanja said while opening the second Kampala International Sports Film Festival at Club Rouge.
She thanked the organisers for the professionalism they showed while linking Kampala to the whole world. She represented Mayor Nasser Ntege Ssebaggala.
