Minister Kawuki speaks at a meeting with Kabaka’s representatives in Bulange, Mmengo
The Minister for Local Government and External Affairs in Buganda Kingdom, Owek. Joseph Kawuki, has urged Kabaka’s representatives to always unite the people of Buganda and avoid divisive politics.
He made these remarks while meeting leaders of counties outside Buganda within Uganda, as well as the Kabaka’s representative from Scandinavia, at Bulange, Mmengo, on Tuesday.
Owek. Kawuki emphasized that one of the key pillars of the Buganda Kingdom is unity, and he called on these representatives to steer clear of politics and other issues that may create divisions among the people.
He reminded them to carry out their duties with proper planning, ensuring that their annual programs align with well-structured budgets. This, he noted, helps the people understand how their contributions are used in the development of the Kingdom.
