The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Fort Portal, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The King of Tooro Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV has tasked parents to ensure that they teach their children cultural norms and values in order to preserve the Tooro culture for future generations.
Omukama Oyo was speaking at the Annual General Meeting of the Abagaya clan at Whispering Gardens in Fort Portal City on Thursday evening.
He rallied parents to teach children about their clans and other cultural norms so that the Tooro culture can be preserved and passed on to future generations.
King Oyo added that since clans are the foundation of the kingdom, they need to be preserved and kept firm to hold the kingdom.
Glad to officiate at the Bagaya Clan end of year ceremony during which a clan SACCO was launched, a very commendable effort. I encourage all clans in Tooro to emulate such, and other developmental efforts that bring us all together centered around clan and communal ties. pic.twitter.com/2KVLJ58qk2
