His alleged stroke illness had attracted lots of phone calls and messages wishing him quick recovery.
“To all those that have sent me get well soon messages, I thank you for your encouragement, sympathy and love. It is not true that I got a stroke,” said Mbabazi.
“I had a back ailment which was fixed and I have actually in the last week or so been involved in fairly heavy diplomatic work.”
Popular lawyer Hussein Kashillingi has shared a photo with Mbabazi in the UK. Counsel Kashillingi said Mbabazi was engaged in meetings and that his health had been restored.
“It was a pleasure meeting with the Rt. Hon. AmamaMbabazi at his hotel here in London. As you can see, he is upbeat and already having meetings. We thank God for restoring his health,” he said.
Mbabazi noted that he had “covered a long way on my journey to full recovery.”
