‘PER DIEM’: Ugandans Question Why ‘Entire Cabinet’ Travelled For Dubai Expo Instead of Sellable Products

On Sunday, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) treated Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni to a warm reception as it celebrated Uganda Day at the Dhbai Expo 2020.

President Museveni arrived in the UAE on Saturday to take part in the prestigious trade Expo that has 190 countries participating including Uganda.

Museveni’s delegation to the UAE includes ministers and other officials, something that has led a section of Ugandans questioning why almost the whole cabinet travelled to Dubai.

It is not clear how many ministers are in Dubai.

Some have also queried the products at Uganda’s pavilion.

There are more cabinet members at the Dubai expo than the sellable items being showcased. @samagona why are you like this?

I’ve been to expos in Dubai, and my oh my! Countries invest a lot to showcase their best in Space Technology, Robotics, Electric Mobility, Edu-tech, e-Commerce, Energy, Cybersecurity, Healthcare, Cryptocurrency etc.
I don’t know who was in charge of the Ugandan pavilion.

They had to revenge for all the time they have lost without subsistence for external travels! Don't be surprised for them to organise another one in Singapore very soon!

LOL! You want 🇺🇬 to market what she doesn't have? Everyone markets their niche. S/Korea markets information technology, Russia markets cybersecurity etc. 🇺🇬 pavilion is marketing our tourism potential, our natural resources potential & business opportunities for the big companies https://t.co/CcJcGS5dJY
