President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has met the Lango paramount chief (Won Nyaci) Eng Dr. Michael Moses Odongo Okune and other leaders at State House Entebbe ,and urged them to local language, culture ,education, health, transform the society through development and create peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was supposed to be campaigning today,but I said I needed to go to cabinet because there were some issues there but also to meet the cultural leaders. I\u2019m happy to receive you here,\u201d President Museveni said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the Republic of Uganda,we use English as the official language and Swahili as a regional language. Nobody has banned the local languages but who is promoting them and taking care of them? This is where the cultural leadership comes in because in the school system they are not very clear. In the past they used to teach in schools vernacular,I don\u2019t think it\u2019s taught these days so the cultural institution can definitely look at that angle of the language when the government may not have time to do it and I can see some gaps there,\u201d President Museveni said .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have already audited the Banyankole culture because the Banyankole culture was suppressing the girl child,the girl child was dependent all her life. When she was a girl she would depend on the father ,when she gets married she depends on the husband ,when the husband dies she remains a widow and depends on the son and the children.I said my daughters must have their share,they are my blood,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe need modern wealth based on money, depending on the land holding ,choose the right enterprise for the family. This is where coffee passes because with coffee,if you do a little bit of irrigation,you can get Shs18m from an acre in a year and fruits have also got some good money, in one acre you can get quite a lot of money sometimes even as much as Shs30m,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTherefore I want you to help me, that land of yours is not fenced ,it\u2019s just open like that ,if we all speak the same language they will change,the moment they settle down and fence that land as families or clans then we shall have controlled agriculture then we shall have to speak about irrigation,use of fertilizers and pasture development,\u201d President Museveni said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Odongo Okune commended President Museveni for the peace and security he brought to the Lango sub-region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou rid Lango of state-inspired violence of the 1970s and early 1980s,cattle rustling and numerous insurgencies like those of Kony, Lakwena that had caused death ,and mass internal displacement of communities,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLango is grateful to Your Excellency for the developments you have brought to the region.\u201d He also thanked President Museveni for the wealth creation projects in Lango which have helped the people to develop themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
