\u201cI am excited that Uganda won the bid to host one of Africa\u2019s biggest AIDS conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will work with Parliament’s Committee on Budget and that on HIV\/AIDS to see that some money is secured to facilitate this international meeting, Kadaga pledged .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
