Matovu and Nannono while addressing the general public emphasized the need for general cleanness at home, work and our neighboring environment so as to secure themselves from diseases resulting from poor sanitation and hygiene.

This is what Kabaka for the last 30 years has put more emphasis on. We need to live in a way that pleases our neighbours. Let’s all do it for others, and ourselves”, Matovu stretched.
