Speaking during the inspection, Katamba emphasized the importance of early preparations and discipline among participating schools.
“We want all schools to register as early as possible to allow proper planning and smooth organization of the games. These competitions are about talent development, discipline and unity, and we must prepare adequately to achieve that,” Katamba said.
He also called upon all games teachers to attend a preparatory meeting scheduled for Thursday, March 19 at 10:00am at Bulange Mengo.
