President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Thursday hosted the former Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta who paid a courtesy call on him at State House Entebbe.
The visit followed Kenyatta’s participation as a keynote speaker at the second Annual Guild Leaders’ Summit 2025 held at Makerere University, Kampala on Thursday April 24,2025.
The summit was organized by the Guild Presidents Leadership Academy which brings together Guild Presidents and Student Leaders from universities across East Africa.
“I am very grateful, Mzee, for your warm welcome. Your people have looked after us well. We hope that we have met the expectations of our youth through the engagements we had,” H.E Kenyatta said.
Following the summit, which drew student leaders from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan, Rwanda, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenyatta commended the youth for their passion and unity.
“The student leaders were highly engaging,” he informed President Museveni.
“The key issues they raised were unemployment and job creation. What excited me most was their realization that they are stronger together. They can’t just sit back and wait for things to happen, they must take the lead.”
He also urged young people to desist from ethnic and religious divisions and focus on their shared future.
On his part, President Museveni welcomed the initiative and expressed interest in engaging directly with the leadership academy.
“I would like to meet the leadership academy and strategize on the kind of message we should be spreading to the youth,” President Museveni said.
He also praised Mr Kenyatta for his efforts in promoting regional unity and recalled his own impressions from the former President’s inauguration.
