Senior Presidential Advisor and Manager of the Office of the National Chairman (ONC), Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo, has called on Ugandans to remain committed to preserving their cultural heritage, describing strong cultural institutions as a foundation for national identity and development.
Namyalo made the remarks on Friday evening while attending a fundraising dinner organized by members of the Ngo Clan at the Sheraton Kampala Hotel.
