President William Ruto was earlier seen off by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua as he left for Kampala.

“President William Ruto has travelled to Kampala, Uganda, to attend the country’s 60th Independence Day celebrations. The President left Saturday afternoon. While in Uganda, the President is expected to hold talks with President Yoweri Museveni,” a statement posted by State House Kenya read in part.

Museveni’s apology to Kenya

Ruto’s trip to Uganda comes just days after Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni was forced to apologize to Kenyans and the Kenyan government following a flurry of inflammatory tweets by his son General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

The long-serving Head of State appealed to Kenyans in a statement posted on his Twitter account to forgive the Ugandan nation at large for the controversial tweets posted by his army son.

Museveni posited that it is imprudent for public officers, either serving in the military or civil service, to make adverse comments or appear to interfere with the internal affairs of neighbouring countries.

“I ask our Kenyan brothers and sisters to forgive us for tweets sent by General Muhoozi, former Commander of Land Forces here, regarding the election matters in that great country. It is not correct for Public officers, be they civilian or military, to comment or interfere in any way, in the internal affairs of brother countries,” his statement read in part.
