The member of the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) representing Uganda, Denis Fred Mukasa Mbidde was the Chief Guest at the international symposium on Saturday and the Special Guest was Ambassador Katenta Apuuli.

The venue was Melody Line Willem Fenengastraat, Amsterdam. Mbidde presented a paper on ‘Uganda, proper Strategies for sound Economic Growth, Good governance -the case for Regional Integration and the fight against Corruption’ The paper was discussed by the ambassador.

The event was punctuated with a Miss Uganda Beauty Pageant and cultural Dances, Drama in a play (Ugly Truth). The event was a real battle of the Titans as the Ambassador had a duty to sound the NRM Government serious on the Fight against Corruption and the on-going violations of the right to freedoms of association.

The Ambassador tried in vain to have second thoughts by convincing the Netherlands Government to stop the event but on failing to do so successfully he decided to attend the function. The event organisers included Buganda Development Network (BUDANET) represented by its Secretary General Katumba Patrick and Michael Lule, the Director Mambo Inc.
