“Understanding the community's needs is crucial, as it directly relates to our responsibilities to the government in Mengo,” he said.

Ronald Lumunye, the district secretary for Kyadondo, echoed similar sentiments, underscoring the role of parents in instilling morals and respect for the Kabaka in their children: “We must ensure our youth understand the importance of our culture and heritage”.

Nakawa chief Ssalongo James Ssekitoleko condemned those who diminish cultural values. 

He emphasized the importance of using Luganda and wearing traditional attire, such as kanzu and gomesi, to preserve their heritage. 

“Cultural identity is vital; we must stand united against influences that seek to divide us,” he urged.

Nakawa mayor Paul Mugambe encouraged the community to embrace their language and traditions. 

He warned against divisive politics and called on everyone to work together to promote and preserve their cultural identity.

“Let us be vigilant against those who undermine Buganda’s values,” he stated.

“Together, we can build a stronger community that honors our heritage,” he concluded.
