The president will also hold a special meeting with all cultural leaders from Uganda on the dialogue about advancing the country.
On his part, Owek. Mayiga welcomed the dialogue noting that Buganda Kingdom is home to all Ugandans and it is essential that services are extended to the people.
“We’re eager to work with the central government on different programmes that directly affect the people of Buganda. The kingdom of Buganda is very cosmopolitan, everyone from Uganda is here. So when services are extended to the people in Buganda, every other Ugandan is a beneficiary,” he noted.
