A section of youth in Bugisu wants the Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development to take action against Jude Mike Mudoma the Bamasaba Cultural leader.

 


This call comes in the wake of controversy surrounding Mudoma’s decision to sack six ministers in December last year. The move drew widespread condemnation from the Bamasaba.

 

The youth led by Yusuf Bunoti, the President of Bamasaba National Students Association and Robert Bwayo, the association spokesperson at a press briefing at Sky Hotel in Mbale City urged the Gender Ministry to halt funding towards Bamasaba Cultural Institution, Inzu Ya Masaba until ongoing conflicts are resolved. According to Bunoti and Bwayo, it is not proper for the government to continue funding the cultural institution which is embroiled in fights.

 

The youth have submitted a petition to the Gender Minister Betty Amongi.

 

But Stephen Masiga, the Bamasaba Cultural Instituion Public Relations Officer has dismissed the concerns by the young people saying they have no authority to comment on issues of the cultural institution.
