    End of year celebrations in Uganda banned!
    • December 29, 2020 • 4 years ago

    With only two days to end a year that'll be in memories of almost everyone, the minister of ICT hon. Judith Nabakooba hit the last nail into the festivities cross when he confirmed there'll be no end of year celebrations.

    In a document aired on her Twitter account, the ministry of health has requested Ugandans to stay home and observe the coming of the new year with their families.

    This is a way of combatting the spread of covid-19, given the celebrations always bring people together. "All public end of year festivities such as musical concerts, overnight prayers, fireworks display have been banned this time round due to the existence of Covid-19.

    As you keep safe remember that curfew hours, traffic rules remain in place and will be enforced by police." Tweeted hon Judith. Indeed this year will go down in history.
