Zambogo boycotts cultural day.

Cultural day.
By Philimon Badagawa.

The Baganda Nkobazamogo boycotted the annual cultural day that was conducted at Ssese Gate way beach last month. They claimed that the guild gave them little money for facilitation.

Nkumba guild government led by Okebe Nathan gave out an equal amount of money that tattled to 200,000 shillings for each cultural association. However to the Zambongo, this was too little.

The cultural minister failed to comment on this saying that they had other issues that made them not to participate.

Some members revealed that their failure to take part in the cultural exhibition was as a result of the death of people during the closing prayers for the five days mourning of Kasubi fire.

Over 18 cultures exhibited their cultural normes and traditions.These included the traditional dance,way of greeting,songs,local dishes among other things.


The occasion was graced by Hon.JB Balikudembe,MP for Busiiro south. He cautioned the students to recognize each ones culture. Blikudembe also advised students to join politics since they can do a lot while in power. You can make a commendable change in the Ugandan politics today..." He told the students.
