On Sunday evening, president Museveni marked 70 years since he was baptised. However, some Ugandans seem to have suspicions over the intentions of the president commemorating the milestone in Christian faith. 

It all started when the State House shared on Facebook photos of the President and First Lady Janet crosschecking through old  baptism records at St Luke Kinoni Church of Uganda in Kiruhura district.

It is on this background that some Ugandans have raised suspicion connecting the event to alleged presidential age limit amendment.

Haha you had the guts to bribe the church n alter the register..really?

I hope its not being taken as year of birth otherwise in research you don’t use one source to make reliable conclusions.

However, senior press secretary had a clear answer to these suspicions.
