"Gatagata munonga gateebirwe wa beene mbeho." While it is healthy that Banyakigezi continue to hold differences of political opinion and affiliation in local, national and international politics, it is very urgent that we redefine our priorities.
Kigezi's problem is not lack of resources but among others is our inability to harness the enormous potential of Banyakigezi and Friends. The persistence of our rugged individualism that was once perfectly suited for life in the mountains before we entered the global community is at the heart of our underdevelopment. Such rugged individualism may still serve the private interests of entrepreneurs, but it does not serve the collective interest of the community. Above all, we believe that we Banyakigezi who are privileged to hold well-paying jobs and other opportunities all over the world owe it to our homeland to share our financial, intellectual and technical resources with Kigezi. It is an obligation really, for we are all beneficiaries of the sacrifice and visionary leadership of our elders and forebears who invested in our education and other critical facets of Kigezi. These among other things will be re-visited during the July 26-29 Annual ICOB Convention in Greenville South Carolina. Early bird registration ends April 30, 2012.
