Teso, Elgon, Bukedi, Busoga, Rwenzori and central zones are to receive the services in September and October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe major objectives of Mwangaza among others, is to help multiple ideological study groups in Uganda, East Africa, Africa and its diaspora to be committed to the examination of, the management of society, consolidation of patriotic national statehood and securing the strategic interests of the African people and insuring our future through accelerated political and economic integration,\u201d Mr Mafabi said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
