“The Kabaka has demonstrated remarkable leadership by using his influence to improve the health and well-being of his people,” Bishop Lwandasa said.
The bishop further commended the Kabaka for fostering peace and inclusivity by welcoming people of all nationalities to live and work in Buganda without discrimination, saying this approach has strengthened unity, peaceful coexistence, and cooperation between Buganda and other communities.
