Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has faulted Kenyans for the misleading reports that he is in ICU after he tested positive for Covid-19.
In a status update on his health on Tuesday evening, Museveni said if that was the case, his government would have announced that to the world without hiding anything.
According to Uganda's President, he has never been bedridden because of sickness after isolating as a Covid-19 patient.
He said he has also never been to any hospital because of Covid-19.
"I noticed a few individuals from, I think, Kenya, saying that I was in ICU etc. If I was in ICU, the government would inform the country. What is there to hide?"

"However, I have not been to bed as a sick man in the house here except for sleeping, let alone being in a hospital bed, whether ICU or otherwise. Continue praying, we shall overcome," Museveni stated.
Museveni went on to issue an update on his recovery journey saying he is in control of the situation.
He said he experienced some symptoms for the first two days but that has improved significantly.
"Except for the first two days (Tuesday and Wednesday), when there was a mild flu-like fever, but weaker than the usual flu, I only had some drowsiness on Thursday and mild headache at night. This was up to Friday," he said.
"There was also roughness on the throat (bugyiimbi-like feeling- leaves with a rough surface). By Friday, all those symptoms had gone."
Museveni also hinted that he has resumed his work as president saying he on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, engaged in doing paperwork that pertains to his office.
He said he remains in isolation because the test results are still coming out positive.
"I would have gone out of self – confinement but when we checked on Sunday, I was still positive, but the other parameters were good," he said.
"My social media team brought me messages that are overwhelmingly supportive. Thanks so much, fellow Ugandans. I thank those who took the trouble to sign the boards at the Gate of Nakasero."
