Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II has urged the people of Buganda to be a beacon of progress and development within the Kingdom. He called on them to stop relying on others for assistance and instead take the initiative to actively participate in work and programmes aimed at improving their own lives.
The Kabaka’s message was delivered by Prince Crispin Jjunju Kiweewa during the official launch of a new executive committee of the Kabaka Foundation UK & Ireland, held at the Royal National Hotel in London.
“This initiative is a major step forward in modernizing agriculture in Buganda, ensuring food security, and creating economic opportunities for local farmers,” said Omuk. Edward Kaggwa Ndagala.
The Kabaka expressed appreciation for members of the Buganda community living abroad who have tirelessly supported the Kabaka Foundation’s efforts to uplift the welfare of his people.
He also commended the expansion of the foundation’s chapters in various countries, which are playing a major role in mobilising aid and partnerships to support the Foundation’s mission.
Edward Kaggwa Ndagala, CEO of the Foundation, mentioned the vital role of international boards, including chapters in Sweden, USA (Midwest, California, Boston), and Canada.
Ssaalongo Geoffrey Kibuuka, the Kabaka’s representative in the UK and Ireland, praised His Majesty for implementing initiatives to improve people’s livelihoods.
Henry Mutumba, the new head of the UK and Ireland chapter, pledged to uphold the board’s responsibilities with commitment and integrity.
