As a prime minister entered the waiting room he was introduced to NSA members present at the meeting and then CRD acting director Hassan Sheikh who was leading the delegation briefed the prime minister about the activities so far conducted by NSAs and opportunities and challenges ahead. He also updated the PM about the up coming Kampala RDP/CSP conference and told him that this delegation was planning to take part in that meeting very soon.

Finally, the prime minister expressed his joy for receiving at his residence such a huge south central NSA delegation. He assured them that he would always stand by them.
