We are proud to continue this partnership with Tooro Kingdom for two more years, and it is an honour to toast to Omukama Oyo and this kingdom’s enduring legacy.”

On this strengthened collaboration, Princess Ruth Komuntale stated, “Tooro has exciting milestones such as the Empango celebrations, and we would be honoured to position these events as experiences that attract visitors to our kingdom.”
