Uganda Flag Dominated In Kololo Stadium During Independence Celebration Day (Photos)

As Uganda marks 60 years of independence today, what are some of the country's remarkable achievements the population ought to celebrate.

In Uganda we have had fights with political actors over value addition. Everything is got from outside yet the raw materials are available. At least we have started producing our own posho, processed milk, fertilisers, and some textiles ~ President Museveni 

President William Ruto during Uganda's 60th Independence Day celebrations at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds in Kampala said that the EAC will realize its potential if it eliminates barriers to free movement of people, goods and services.

Happy Independence Day Uganda! We have experienced 60 years of challenges, but it's our right to self rule. Achievements need to be celebrated; mistakes ought to be corrected. Going forward we should rebuild/ strengthen institutions of state; enforce the rule of law and democracy; and improve the socio-economic wellbeing of the ordinary person. We need to respect/listen to each other more. CPM-Charles.
