He said the President’s card was delivered at State House, Nakasero on December 23. Army commander Lt. Gen. Aronda Nyakayirima also received one.
Presidential assistant Moses Byaruhanga yesterday said he was not aware that Museveni received a card from UPC.
Ssenyonjo said the Kabaka, Katikkiro Joseph Ssemwogerere, Mengo ministers and Lukiiko members also received cards.
