Mukono District Chairperson Francis Lukooya Mukoome has claimed that he played a role in facilitating a meeting between Mukono Municipality Member of Parliament Betty Nambooze Bakireke and President Yoweri Museveni.

However, Lukooya did not disclose details about the meeting, including where it took place, its purpose, or what was discussed. He only stated that he helped Nambooze gain access to the President.

Lukooya made the remarks while addressing residents in Katosi Town Council on Tuesday. He added that he is unaware of the current relationship between President Museveni and Nambooze, saying his involvement ended after connecting the two.
