Kaguta Museveni, exercised his executive discretion and permitted him back in the country. Wim who came with Group President ShuterRob has been welcomed by the leadership team & staff.”
Senior Presidential Secretary, Don Wanyama announced on Thursday that Mr. Vanhelleputte had been allowed into the country by the President following discussions and he was expected to resume duties immediately.
“We have been formally notified, we got a letter and it was the president who requested the minister of internal affairs to write and allow him (CEO) to come immediately and he is coming today,” MTN Uganda’s chairman, Charles Mbire, told Reuters by phone.
