President Museveni has directed that each kingdom in Uganda gets facilitated with shs60 million per month.
The deputy speaker of Parliament communicated the directive, Thomas Tayebwa during the wedding reception for Kyabazinga William Gabula Nadiope IV and Jovia Mutesi at Igenge Palace, in Jinja City on Saturday.
”The president made a directive that the Kingdom must be well facilitated, let’s go and implement the President’s directive of giving each Kingdom Shs60. I promise on behalf of all members of Parliament that the directive will be implemented because after here we are going to work it out,” Tayebwa said.
The directive will benefit Buganda, Bunyoro, Acholi, Tooro, Busoga, Rwenzururu and Bamasaba from the shs60 million facilitation.
Since the restoration of traditional leaders in Uganda in 1993, the consent of Kingdoms like Buganda has served as an important support base for Uganda’s growth politicaly and economically, a reason Museveni feels they shouldn’t be sidelined.
