BUGANDA Kingdom's Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga has launched a book entitled 'Ekitiibwa kya Buganda' in commemoration of Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi's 20th coronation anniversary.

The book, which was compiled and published by Bukedde, a sister paper to New Vision, has been launched at Vision Group headquarters.

The Katikkiro arrived at the Vision Group headquarters at 9:00am. He was received by the company's top managers and staff.

The Vision Group headquarters house New Vision and Bukedde newspapers, Bukedde FM and Bukedde TV as well as other platforms.

The book 'Ekitiibwa kya Buganda' details Buganda's history over the past 800 years, cultural norms and customs of the people of Buganda.

The compilation of 'Ekitiibwa Kya Buganda' was spearheaded by Bukedde Ku Sunday editor Margaret Nankinga, a distinguished Luganda language expert.

Joseph Lwanga, the circulation manager of Vision Group, said the book would be available to the public at different bookshops and newspaper vendors across the country.
