Power shift from elders to youth unveiled as Karamoja cultural head leads ancient ceremony.

28th November 2023 News Editor 0 Comments

The partly rejected Karamoja Cultural Leader Peter Adei, has initiated a profound three-day ceremony in Kidepo, Moroto district, accompanied by hundreds of revered elders.

The ancient ritual which is performed every after 50 years, marks the symbolic transfer of power and authority from the older generation to the youth within the Matheniko, Pian and Bokora communities.

Adei Peter, the Karamoja Cultural Leader, expressed the significance of this extraordinary event, saying the ceremony embodies their rich heritage, where the torch of leadership is passed from the elders to the vibrant young generation.

On the other hand, he voiced the need to integrate elders’ wisdom into governance and developmental strategies.

The initial days of the ceremony are dedicated to restoring communal bonds and fostering reconciliation among community members.

As the flames of tradition burn bright, the ceremony serves not only as a transfer of power but as a rallying cry for unity, respect, and the seamless integration of generational wisdom into the future of Karamoja.
