Daily Monitor Monday July 12 2021 President Museveni (left) chats with Kenya's Deputy President William Ruto (right) after he paid him a courtesy visit at State House Entebbe on July 7, 2021. PPU PHOTO Summary Ruto also celebrated Mr Museveni’s Operation Wealth Creation Initiative, which he compared to his own hustler campaigns. The initiative was launched five years ago to help folks elevate their farming from mere subsistence to commercial, even if on smaller plots. Mr Museveni, who has been in power for 35 years, is said to prefer Dr Ruto and not ODM leader Raila Odinga coming in after Mr Kenyatta. Being a landlocked country, Uganda depends on Kenya for its imports and the President is keen to have a friendly Head of State.
