Ykee Benda who was officially sworn in yesterday as the UMA president said that they are willing and ready to follow the SOP guidelines set by the Ministry of Health.

“Please re-open bars, we shall sanitize, wear masks and we promise not to dance. People will enjoy the music while seated,” Ykee Benda cried out to government.
