President Museveni has in his Christmas Message urged Ugandans to embrace the current covid-19 mass vaccination.
Museveni said that God is helping us to emerge from the scourge of the deadly Coronavirus disease.
“I urge you to embrace the countrywide vaccination campaign and to continue observing the Standard Operating Procedures to curb the spread of the virus,” he said.
His message comes at a time when the Country is preparing for full reopening in January. The country is at the same time grappling with the Omicron new covid variant which was first discovered in South Africa recently.
Christmas
Christmas, the president said is a time when all believers in the Christian faith celebrate the birth of the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ.
“It is the genesis of man’s salvation and redemption from death, which is the consequence of sin,” he said
“As you celebrate this year’s Christmas, I encourage you to welcome into your hearts the message of love, compassion, and care for one another, generosity, holiness, and faithful worship to God,” he added.
He said that merry-making which is always associated with the festive season should not detract you from focusing on the spiritual significance of Christmas.
“May this Christmas renew your faith in God; bring healing and divine joy to your families. The First Lady, Mama Janet, joins me in wishing you a Merry Christmas,” he said.
