It has now been confirmed that Kenyan newly-elected President, H.E William Ruto will make his first visit to Uganda since assuming the office last month.

According to Kasambya County MP, Hon David Kabanda, Ruto will arrive in Uganda for the Independence celebrations. These are slated for 9th October 2022 at Kololo Independence Grounds.

It will be the 60th Independence anniversary of the East African country ever since it ceased being a British Protectorate in 1962. Ruto was invited personally by President Museveni.

It won’t only be Ruto coming for this function. Six other heads of State have also confirmed attendance for the occasion.

“On invitation of the father of the region Mzei @KagutaMuseveni, President @WilliamsRuto and 6 others have comfirmed attendance as Uganda celebrates her 60th independence on 9/10/2022. As Ugandans we are excited to welcome William Ruto in Uganda,” Hon Kabanda said.

It should be recalled that President Museveni widely supported Ruto in the previous general election in Kenya. Ruto even while still a Deputy President was seen a number of occasions visiting Uganda on the invitation of Museveni.

Shortly after being named the 5th Kenyan president, Museveni called in quickly to congratulate him on his well deserved win. The Ugandan president was also among the notable speakers during Ruto’s swearing in ceremony.

While inviting Museveni to speak, Ruto referred to him as the father of the region. The two have reiterated to foster the working relationship of the two countries on different levels.
