This should harmoniously be addressed by the ministry concerned,\u201d Mr Kinobere said.<\/p>\n<p>He said as Bagwere, they are losing out on the national cake because of the continued infighting.<\/p>\n<p>He was speaking during the installation ceremony of the head of Bapalama clan, Mr Modyo David Walujo, at Busetal Senior Secondary School last week.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kinobere said the biggest challenge that is pushing the institution backwards is the selfishness of some clan heads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should come out boldly to condemn such behaviour being exhibited by the hungry clan heads who are after money. Let\u2019s sit on a round table and harmonise the situation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Stephen Keddi, the chief executive officer of Keddi Foundation, said he is ready to facilitate the process that would bring the Bagwere together under one cultural leader.<\/p>\n<p>He challenged the political leaders of the four districts of Pallisa, Budaka, Kibuku and Butebo headed by Kibuku District chairperson Mohammed Nakeba to be at the forefront of championing dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>State Minister for Gender Peace Mutuzo last year attempted to intervene in the wrangles during a meeting at Marpple Cottages, Kamonkoli in Budaka but there were no tangible results.<\/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.
