The Paramount Chief of Lango Eng Dr. Moses Michael Odongo Okune has said Tekwaro Lango will not tolerate any Nongovernmental organization and individuals found promoting and recruiting people into gay business.
Dr. Odongo Okune, made the revelation on Wednesday February 1st 2023 during the swearing in of his new Cabinet and State Ministers, board and Commissions under Tekwaro Lango in a function held at Senior Quarters Lira City East Division.
His Highness appealed to his subjects to preserve Lango Cultural norms and vehemently reject the interest of Western Countries who he says are trying to force Ugandan and African Countries to accept same sex marriage.
He noted that Tekwaro Lango believes that gay activity is a sin in the face of God and it’s against the Cultural norms of the Lango tribe.
The Paramount Chief also asked the newly installed Ministers and boards of Commission to remain focused in working towards transforming the livelihood of Lango people through creating awareness on poverty eradication.
Eng Dr.Moses Odongo Okune said the Leadership of Tekwaro Lango is currently stable warning the faction g under Lango Cultural Foundation to stop masquerading and confusing the people of Lango.
According to Okune, Tekwaro Lango is legally operating under the 2016 Constitution which was equally gazetted by government in November 2022.
Okune, also asked President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to appreciate Lango by appointing her gallant sons and daughters in higher positions in government since Lango has always voted massively for NRM.
George Ojwang Opota the Tekwaro Lango Prime Minister pledged that Ministers whom he heads will remain committed in developing Lango.
Ojwang Opota said Tekwaro Lango currently has a well registered and gazetted Constitution and any faction trying to confuse the people of Lango in the name of doing Constitutional amendment risk being prosecuted in the Court of Law.
In the meeting, the Cultural leaders elected former NRM youth Vice Chairperson for Northern Uganda Willy Omodo Omodo as the new Speaker of the General Assembly of Owitong replacing Isaac Opio Opeo.
Omodo Omodo promised to innictiate changes in the Tekwaro Council business by ensuring that laws and other relevant policies are followed.
“For those who still thank that I am the Omodo Omodo they used to know should just forget, when I was a youth leader means I was in Primary one, when I was a deputy Awitong of my clan it means I was graduating and when I was elevated to full Awitong means I was in Secondary and now that I am the Speaker, wait I will conduct myself as a Mature leader” Omodo Omodo said.
