The cultural institutions across northern Uganda have come up with a five-point agenda aimed at transforming the region.

Mr Geoffrey Okello Okuna, the Acholi cultural institution’s communications officer, said the latest meeting of the cultural chiefs convened in Gulu City by Acholi Paramount Chief David Onen Acana II resolved to table a five-point agenda before President Museveni at their forthcoming meeting.

Mr Okuna said one of the key issues agreed on was the revival of the livestock economy through the Beef Development Authority that targets the north.

“It was agreed that the government should help cultural institutions open up royal farms to support the existing ones and that the government, through the cultural institution, should improve cattle breeds in the Greater North,” he said.

Mr Okuna added that the meeting, held in Gulu City on Monday, also agreed to petition the President to streamline the current framework for war debt compensation to weed out middlemen.
