Katikkiro Mayiga tips youth in diaspora to trace their origins

The Katikkiro of the Buganda Kingdom, Charles Peter Mayiga has urged youths in the diaspora to trace their origins if they are to protect and promote their heritage while abroad.

While addressing a congregation from Europe, Katikkiro Mayiga said that the young generation has a task to trace their roots because their parents have done their part and they are the next Buganda representatives.

“A number of them [youth] were born in Europe but while they could be citizens of those countries, their origins are in Uganda and its important not to forget their roots,” he said

He added that the youth have to read and research about their origins and history of Buganda Kingdom because it’s the only way they will get to know facts about their heritage.

“It’s very easy to lose their roots because many of them do not know how to speak their indigenous language yet their parents do speak them,” he said
