By Kampala Post Reporter

President Yoweri Museveni is back home from Nairobi, Kenya where he joined other African Heads of State and Government for an International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD25).

Museveni told the three-day conference that gender equality can only be achieved if societies transform and develop.

“You cannot keep a pre-capitalist society in existence and you think you will easily achieve gender equality and other goals,” he told thousands of attentive delegates at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre in Nairobi.

The President was on Wednesday morning received on arrival at Entebbe International Airport by Presidency Minister, Esther Mbayo.

Others at the airport to receive him included the Head of Public Service, John Mitala, the Commander of Uganda People’s Defence Air Forces, Lt. Gen. Charles Lwanga Lutaaya and Assistant Inspector General of Police, Andrew Sorowen, among others.
