In his speech, the Chief Guest, Mulyanyama, lauded the organizer for this event which is annually held during the sacred month of Ramadhan.
He also appreciated the town council under the leadership of Ronald Kalema for the great services rendered to the community, including the new headquarters that is on 95% completion.
In addition, Mulyanyama reminded attendees that Ramadhan is a sacred period of forgiveness, mercy, and salvation and, therefore, asked people with authority and peace enforcers to stick to their core value chains while in offices of duty.

“As you may be aware, for the past years, I have been sharing the little I have by providing Iftar packages to my dear Muslim brothers and sisters in this period, and indeed, I am very happy to share this special moment with the community,” he said.
