The one-week Expo will coincide with the Empango celebrations due on June 11th. The aim of the Expo is to re-brand and market Bunyoro region as an international investment destination for the benefit of our people. The Omukama of Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom, His Majesty Agutamba Solomon Gafabusa Iguru I appointed a 7-member Board of Trustees, including me, to spearhead the Expo activities. The theme is “Tapping Bunyoro’s Economic Potential”. As you might be aware, the trustees earmarked publication of a commemorative magazine as part of these activities and it will be on sale to raise money for the Empango.
In this respect the Board of Trustees has appointed the following people to constitute the Magazine Editorial Board:

3. Mr Pascal Kwesiga from The New Vision, Kampala – Member
