President Museveni to Deliver Virtual Budget Speech Amidst COVID-19 Isolation
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is set to deliver his Budget Speech to Parliament virtually due to his isolation at Nakasero State Lodge over COVID-19. The speech, scheduled for Thursday, June 15, 2023, will be broadcasted live on all radio and TV stations.
Today, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni will deliver his Budget Speech to Parliament virtually, according to the Deputy Presidential Press Secretary, Mr. Faruk Kirunda.
Mr. Kirunda says the speech that will start at 2pm will be aired live on all radio and TV stations.
“H.E the President is today, Thursday, June 15, 2023, giving a Budget Speech to Parliament virtually starting at 2pm. The speech will be aired live on all radio and TV stations. Please, tune in,” Mr. Kirunda tweeted on Wednesday.
Earlier, President Museveni who is in isolation at Nakasero State Lodge over Covid-19 had revealed that he will be able to address Parliament today at 300m on the budget Day since he was unable to travel with other six African Presidents to Kiev and Russia to mediate in the Russia-Ukraine war.
“Otherwise, I had delegated the whole effort to VP Alupo. Now that I’m not travelling, she will inspect the parade for me, take the salute for the match past and I will make my brief remarks at the end of the budget speech,” President Museveni said earlier yesterday in a statement.
