THE Cabinet has approved the national policy on culture, state minister for gender Rukia Nakadama has said.
The policy will guide the development of languages.
Nakadama, who represented gender minister Syda bbumba, was on Wednesday speaking at the World Cultural Day celebrations at the National Theatre, Kampala.
She said the policy would emphasise preservation of literature and development of dictionaries in local languages.
Arguing that languages have a vital role in development, Nakadama regretted that many African countries are under developed because they use foreign languages.
The day’s activities, which were preceded by a walk led by disaster preparedness minister Tarsis Kabwegyere, were spiced by drama by Kyambogo university students and Kitala Junior School pupils.
Present were state minister for youth James Kinobe and Ambassador David Mwaka.
