In Bunyoro

Kangabaije advocacy for community development action, a pressure group based in Hoima district has petitioned president Museveni over numerous unfulfilled pledges made to Bunyoro sub region.
According to the letter dated 25^th June 2020 addressed to the minister for Bunyoro affairs, Prime minister Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom and other district leaders, for over a decade, pledges made to Bunyoro Kitara kingdom, groups and the communities in general have never been fulfilled.

They include the establishment of a public university in the kingdom, clearance of the unpaid veterans’ gratuity and welfare, position of the first deputy prime minister and Shs. 100 Million pledge to the Kabalega education fund.

Others include demand for considering the ministry of Bunyoro affairs as a fully fledged ministry with a budget, scholarships per district in Bunyoro sub region among others.

Geoffrey Sunday, the chairperson of the group claims that they have without success taken different avenues to realize the pledges.

 Nicholas Musinguzi, the group public relations officer says that the President pledged to compensate tobacco farmers but this turned into an empty promise.

They suggest that should the president fail to fulfill his pledges; they will rally the people of Bunyoro sub region to distance themselves from involving in the incoming elections.
