Community members expressed appreciation to Yoweri Museveni for supporting the King, including allowing him to seek specialized medical treatment abroad. They emphasized that unity remains a cornerstone for development within the kingdom and the country at large.

The Bakonzo also commended ongoing efforts to rebrand the Obusinga bwa Rwenzururu, noting that sustainable peace is critical for long-term progress. They urged the Omusinga to continue championing reconciliation and cohesion across the kingdom.

They further appealed for greater representation of the Bakonzo community in key government positions.

He also applauded government support, including annual scholarships for students from the kingdom, provision of vehicles to the Omusinga, and an enhanced monthly stipend.

Key highlights of the kingdom’s strategic plan include construction of a modern royal palace and residential facilities, establishment of a cultural tourism village, plans for a Rwenzururu university, and programs focused on preventing gender-based violence and improving maternal health.
