Social media sites in Uganda are buzzing with comments of unbelief after what they say was embarrassment at the Dubai Expo 2020.

Expo 2020 is a World Expo, currently hosted by Dubai in the United Arab Emirates from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022. Originally scheduled for 20 October 2020 to 10 April 2021, it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

On Sunday, the Expo celebrated Uganda Day in the presence of President Yoweri Museveni, who later toured Uganda’s pavilion at the Expo.

However, the images that emerged from Uganda’s pavilion have been greeted with disbelief and anger with many saying organisers of the country’s showing should not have embarrassed the president.

As part of Uganda’s products on display, were tea boxes, Labour milk boxes, laid down on a shabbily arranged masai leesu.

Uganda’s Finance Ministry, released shs3bn to facilitate arrangements for the country’s presence at the Expo.

Whereas some say Uganda was only showing what it has, others felt it would do better and try to fit in a 21st century global village that is run by technology.

BELOW ARE SOME OF THE COMMENTS
