The Emorimor Papa Iteso III has announced a Mini Cabinet Reshuffle within the Iteso Cultural Union, introducing strategic changes aimed at strengthening institutional leadership, enhancing service delivery, and fostering unity across the Teso Kingdom.

The reshuffle reflects a deliberate effort to align the institution’s leadership with its core mandate of promoting cultural heritage, social cohesion, and sustainable development for the Iteso people.

Promoting Unity and Institutional Cohesion
