Why Uganda Cranes captain Denis Onyango retired
Museveni and Janet handed over the Pajero sport car to Onyango who had come alongside his mother Olivia.
Onyango accepted the gift and thanked Museveni for his generosity.
He reiterated he had chosen early retirement to pave way for younger talent.
The president noted that people like Onyango were still useful to the nation even after retirement from sporting activities.
Museveni promised scholarships for retiring sportsmen to train in other fields of their choice so they could be absorbed into the civil service.
