As you celebrate, your focus should be on prosperity. How can one be prosperous in the modern world? Modern economies depend on the selling of goods and services. The more people you sell to, the more revenue you earn, thus prosperity,”said Museveni.

Museveni said in promotion of your heritage, therefore, make sure it does not collide with prosperity. Do not only concentrate on identity, look at interests and prosperity.

Finally, I join His Highness the Emorimor to echo the message that the first school is the home. It is where we set the moral foundation for our children. Also, it is possible for tradition to co-exist with modernity. Our people should know this.
