The Minister for Culture, Heritage, Tourism, and Security in the Buganda Kingdom, Owek. Anthony Wamala, has called upon people to prioritize documenting their history and personal stories.
He emphasized that this effort will help preserve their heritage and ensure that historical records remain accurate and reliable.
Minister Wamala delivered this message on behalf of Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga during the launch of the book, “Prof. William Ssenteza Kajubi: The Man of His Legacy,” at the headquarters of the Buganda Kingdom's Department of Tourism and Heritage on Thursday.
In his speech, Owek. Wamala highlighted that many individuals in Buganda and beyond have made significant contributions that others can learn from and use to transform their lives.
However, when such achievements are not documented, it becomes difficult for others to access or benefit from them.
