Museveni Pays Market Vendors $2,700 Cash Pledge

President Yoweri Museveni has delivered a cash payment of 10 million Ugandan shillings to vendors at Kayunga daily market. The payment fulfills a direct pledge made by the president. The funds, equivalent to approximately $2,700 USD, were given to the market vendors in Wakiso Town Council. The president had previously committed to the sum during an earlier engagement with the traders. Market vendors operate small-scale businesses, often selling food and household goods. Such direct presidential pledges to local groups are a noted feature of Uganda's political landscape.
