Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga saluted the President for the contribution, urging members of the NRM and other political parties to come and be part of the tournament.

“I thank the president for supporting the tournament. We strongly believe that the clans can be an anchor of unity. But when you support the Bika, you put that belief into practice,” the Katikkiro said.

He encouraged the NRM supporters from all corners of the Kingdom to support their clans, especially now during this tournament.

” Come out, it’s okay to support the political color of your choice,”Mayiga said.
