The Bamasaba Cultural Institution has set Saturday, August, 3 as the date for the official launch of the traditional circumcision season.



Moses Kutoi the Institution’s Minister for Culture and Heritage says the launch of the traditional circumcision amongst Bamasaba will be presided over by two heads of state at Mutoto Cultural Ground in Mbale City. Kutoi says invitations have been extended to the Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and his Kenyan counterpart, Dr. William Samoei Ruto. He has assured Bamasaba that all security measures have been in place to ensure the launch is peacefully organized.

According to Kutoi, unlike 2022 where they budgeted for 100million shillings for the official launch, this year’s budget will rise to 500million shillings. He says the huge number of people expected to attend the launch explains the increase in the budget.
