The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Tororo, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Usher Wilson Owere, former Chairman General of the National Organisation of Trade Unions (NOTU), was on Friday sworn in as 3rd Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for coordination of the Jopadhola in the Diaspora (Entebbe, Wakiso, Kampala and Mukono) at a special Tieng Adhola Cultural Institution (TACI) cabinet meeting that also discussed the upcoming 25th Coronation Anniversary Celebrations.
His Royal Highness Moses Stephen Owor, the cultural leader (Kwar Adhola) of the Jopadhola, presided over the session.
Two-month-long activities to mark the 25th (Silver Jubilee) Coronation Anniversary of the Kwar Adhola and birth of the TACI cultural institution, are set to kick-off in earnest on Wednesday, with a royal tour and town hall meeting at Pajwenda Town Council.
Other activities scheduled by the celebration organising committee include the 1st Kwar Adhola Marathon, a cultural week, bicycle race and dinner, before the Silver Jubilee celebrations climax on Wednesday, 7th August, 2024, at Achilet Primary school ground. The President of the Republic of Uganda is expected to be the guest of honour.
The theme of the Celebration is “Gender parity a prerequisite for Sustainable Unity, Peace and Development in a fast-changing environment.”
The celebrations return to Achilet, five years after the mammoth 20th anniversary celebrations in 2019 that had Kirunda Kivenjinja (RIP) represent the President of Uganda, as chief guest.
