“Like I promised on Tuesday, I am here to deliver President Yoweri Museveni’s contribution of shs20m to support the tournament,” Namyalo said while handing over the money.

This is the second contribution from President Museveni the latest being financial support towards Kabaka’s run that took place last month. Relations between Mr Mayiga and the first family are good. First son Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba last month offered Shs20m for the Kabaka’s run kits.

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.
