President Ruto was later received at Statehouse Entebbe by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
Through his official Twitter handle, Ruto said, he had a great meeting with President Museveni, adding “The Kenya – Uganda bond is growing stronger.”
Recently, there seemed to be a diplomatic shake-up between the two brotherly countries stemming from tweets by General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the former Commander of UPDF Land Forces.
In his tweets, General Muhoozi claimed that he and ‘his army’ could capture Nairobi the Capital City of Kenya, in two weeks.
President Museveni would later apologize for the reckless tweets made by General Muhoozi.
Ruto’s visit and meeting with President Museveni, further cements the great and brotherly relationship between the two countries.
