President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda is set to recongise Prince Shah Karim Al Hussaini, Aga Khan IV, the 49th Imam of Nizari Ismaili Muslims for his enormous contribution to Uganda’s economy at the 55th Independence Anniversary.
The theme for this year’s independence is, “Uganda’s freedom must be anchored in the spirit of hard work, resilience and commitment”. As per government policy and commitment to regional balance, the deservedly celebrations will this year be held in Bushenyi District at the Municipal Grounds and the Guest Of Honour will be H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. We also expect His Highness Aga Khan to be our special guest who will receive a special honour because of the immense economic contributions he has made to our country and indeed the whole world. Other dignitaries both local and international are expected to attend.
