Government, Religious Leaders and Parents, to Prioritize Cultural Heritage- Kasese

KASESE, UGANDA - Her Royal Highness Queen Agnes Ithungu Asimawe of Obusinga Bwa-Rwenzururu urged parents to teach their children about their cultural heritage and values.

Speaking through a written message read by Hon. Loice Biira Bwambale at the Olhuyani Lwabayira Bakonzo cultural competitions, Queen Agnes stressed that it's the responsibility of parents to pass down cultural values, especially language, to their children.

"The public has always criticized culture as satanic, which isn't the case. I appreciate Olhuyani Olhwa Bayiria for promoting culture in our kingdom," said Hon. Aganatia Katya, Minister for Culture in OBR.

Hon. Katya also warned against promoting political ideologies in cultural institutions, stating that it would lose its meaning if directly involved in politics.
