Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni on Saturday received his Kenyan counterpart William Ruto at Entebbe International Airport, ahead of Kampala's celebrations to mark 60 years of independence from Britain.
But the anniversary had been marked with tensions between the two neighbouring countries after Museveni's son, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, last week issued a series of tweets that derided Ruto's election and joked about the ease with which his troops could capture Nairobi in two weeks.
