The Kabaka of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi noted with dissatisfaction against this act as he mentioned about it at his birthday celebrations in Masaka district recently.

Today, the chairman of the Buganda parliamentary caucus also Mukono South Constituency representative Muyanja Ssenyonga demanded for an explanation from government on the intentions of the act that has left the masses in Buganda region aggrieved.

The State Minister for health in charge of General Duties Sarah Opendi apologized and explained that it was a technical error that is to be rectified.
