He has been with international heritage experts and the National Tourism Authority.
They visited the Muzibwazaalampanga house, fire extinguishers and their use, and water sources, visited the walls of the tombs, and spoke to the residents on issues related to the tombs.
Lazare Eloundou Assomo said when he visited the Tombs after the fire, 10 years ago, he saw the grief among the people of Buganda, they were shocked, and their hearts sank.
However, he said he was pleased with the efforts to restore the Muzibwazaalampanga to preserve the Kings buried in the Tombs.
He said the restoration of these Tombs has brought back hope to the people of Buganda and the dignity of the country because there is a need to preserve such traditional sites.
He welcomed the establishment of a chain between the adults who are doing the work of restoring the Muzibwazaalampanga and including young people, this further ensures that in the future there will be those who will be able to fulfil this responsibility.
The Minister of Culture, Traditional Affairs, and Tourism, represented by Minister Henry Sekabembe Kiberu, said that the visitor saw that the traditions and culture were followed properly without any steps being skipped, which further strengthens the Tombs on the list of places of interest on world level under UNESCO.
This is part of the efforts to bring the Tombs to the list of endangered tourist attractions.
The results of the visit will be released in September after the UNESCO Executive Committee reviews the report.
