As millions of parents in Uganda struggle to find school fees for their relatives and children, the kingdom of Buganda has come out for their remedy.

A source in Buganda kingdom headquarters in Bulange Mengo told us on phone today that the kingdom is set to offer 81,000 bursaries to children from unprivileged families in different parts of the country.

One of the officials in the kingdom’s education ministry, Church Ambrose Bukenya tells us that the kingdom is greatly over whelmed by the bursaries the head teachers of the schools have offered to the kingdom of Buganda.

Bukenya says that the 81,000 bursaries are valued at 1.2 billion shillings. To get the bursaries, the applicants have to approach Kabaka’s chiefs in different parts of the country.
