Dec 06, 2013 – The Uganda government will buy shares in Air Uganda currently owned by the Aga Khan. This was reached in a meeting between President Yoweri Museveni and H.H the Aga khan at the Mandarin Oriental Paris Hotel on Thursday.
President Yoweri Museveni currently on working visit to France arrived in the country on Thursday evening and was received at the airport by Uganda’s ambassador to France Nimisha Madhivan, MPs Oleru Abason Huda of Yumbe District and Joseph Musinguzi of Ntungamo Municipality.
