He appealed to all the Kingdom’s subjects including political leaders to work towards promoting peace, unity, cooperation and co-existence.

Florence Kabugho, the Kasese District Woman MP, who was represented by her Political Assistant, Esther Biira, hailed the youths for their efforts towards planting trees, saying they will help to reduce global warming.

I love to see central government working with our kingdom.
Dats a good development, hope it commences very soon.
Long live omusinga, long live obusinga bwa rwenzururu
Thanks for the updates and we shall keep our culture intact.
The new construction of the king’s palace could not be done by the UPDF but at least another private institution.
For the safety of the king, he would be given chance or authority to get himself a construction company and give in his design. However, thanks for the govt for having secured Obusinga with land.
Nyamuhanga,asimawe kutsibu.
We are grateful for all yo hard work dear journalists of Western Rwenzori. Goodluck
