[Ugnet] Lango doubtfull about royalty

[B Wambuga]

Translation.

 

Rupiny reporter.

The truth behind the problems concerning the coronation of the King (Won Nyaci) of Lngo has been revealed.

The truth is that;

First, the election of the "King" was surreptitiously (without the blessings of the Langi) done while the people were at a workshop in Apach district about two years ago.

Secondly, it is widely agreed that the "Won Nyaci" will be redundant because nobody is convinced about what his (her) job description would be. Let alone any constitution to guide the people on his functions.

 

Most people are also qyestioning the effectiveness of Josham Odur (Won Nyaci) due to his lack of academic competence. Let alone the lack of his capacity to even support himself financially.

 

The most serious issue here really is that there has never existed the position of "The Big Chief" or "King" in the Lango tradition. The Lango had a "Military General", which was in actual sense, a temporary assignment only during a military emergency. The General was nominated by a council of the heads of the various clans which exist in Lango. This General was the "Won Nyaci", whose existence was just strictly during military emergencies only. The office was disolved after the operations are declared over by the council of the "oWii tong".

 

So the concessus is that for the mean time, Peace, and Development are the main issues that must be addressed before any such matters are brought for consideration. The level of poverty and despondence is so disheartening that the people of Lango still have no luxury for royalty and abandant livelywood.

Furthermore contrary to the earlier assertion by the chairman of Lira District Mr. Franko Ojur that there existed a royal Palaace ib the district turned out to be untrue. The building actually belonged to the district council.

 

For now the issue of "royalty" in Lango has been put to sleep.
