“Young people that aspire for leadership positions should tell us the solutions they bring. How do you plan to handle the Buganda question? How are you going to deal with Buganda’s five aspirational objectives? I think such is the key question that all aspiring youthful leaders must provide answers to,” the daily quoted the young MP.
The Kingdom stands for federalism, restoring, restoring land, and demarcating its boundaries, development, and unity.
