KAMPALA, UGANDA. -
I can tell you that president Yoweri kaguta Museveni, the president of the Republic of Uganda is now set to attend the CNN MultiChoice African Journalist Awards 2010 that is taking place this evening in the capital city of this African country.
The awards ceremony that might go out live tonight on Uganda's NTV broadcaster and will be shown on July 12 on the eNews Channel (DStv 403) in South Africa, will now have significantly beefed up security precautions.
''That means - as you would expect - that there will be increased security,'' said a person involved with the production side of this evening's ceremony that will also have several members of the continent's media elite, as well as a gaggle of journalists from all over Africa attending. ''There will be heavy security checks that will start early tomorrow [Saturday]. I ask for your patience and I ask for your understanding with all that that entails,'' attendees were told last night.
