The Rwenzururu King (Omusinga) Charles Wesley Mumbere Irema-ngoma is expected to arrive in Kasese District tomorrow Thursday November 12 ahead of his 60th coronation anniversary celebrations and his birthday run.
The Omusinga who has been in Turkey since August 27 for a medical review, returned to Uganda on November 07, and was received in Kampala where he is expected to leave tomorrow to join his subjects in Kasese district.
The Kingdom Spokesperson, Hon. Geoffrey Kanyonyi, has confirmed the Omusinga’s homecoming, saying that he would be received by his subjects at Rwimi Bridge in Rugendabara-Kikongo Town Council.
According to Kanyonyi, the Omusinga will not have a rally but he will directly proceed to his Kasese town-based home as he prepares for the two functions slated on Saturday.
Hon. Kanyonyi called upon all the subjects to support the planned events on Saturday where the Omusinga will majorly launch the fundraising drive of the construction of Buhikira Royal Palace.
The Kingdom’s mouthpiece indicated that the architectural works of the proposed palace would be unveiled on that day by the King himself.
Rt. Hon. Patrick Baluku Muhesi, the 1st Deputy Prime Minister of the Obusinga Bwa Rwenzururu, called upon the people in the Rwenzori sub-region to procure running kits for the Omusinga’s birthday run, saying that the money that would be collected from the kits would be used to uplift the budget for the palace construction.
He unveiled that the Omusinga will on Saturday celebrate his 74th birthday.
