By James Ekweu
A fifteen-man task force has been appointed to spearhead a fundraising drive for the construction of a palace for the Teso paramount chief, Emorimor Papa Iteso.
The decision was taken on Saturday during the Iteso Cultural Union (ICU) cabinet meeting chaired by the premier (Ekirigi), Robert Irigei, in Tororo Municipality.
Chaired by one of the ICU deputy premiers, Meslam Olupot, the task force was mandated to mobilise all Iteso to contribute resources for the task and work out modalities for easy collection of resources.
At the meeting, President Yoweri Museveni was unanimously suggested as chief guest at the fundraising function slated for November 6, in Soroti.
The committee that hopes to raise sh200m was also asked to officially invite the President and all Teso Members of Parliament in Uganda and Kenya.
“This committee is to obtain Police permission for the drive. I therefore want to ask every ICU official t o mobilise resources to ensure a successful function,” Martin Owako, the ICU finance minister, said.Published on: Thursday, 26th August, 2004
