The Teso cultural Union hasinstalled its 3rd cultural leader Emorimor Sande Paul Emolot during a colourful traditional ceremony held at Mayor’s Gardens Soroti city over the weekend.
The new Iteso leader replaces former Emorimor, Augustine Osuban Lemukol who succumbed to Covid-19 in February.
Shortly after Emorimor Augustine’s passing, Emolot who was the then chairperson of the Iteso Cultural Union was made the caretaker Emorimor, a decision that became contentious as ICU leadership split into factions.
These were later on sammoned by the Ministry of gender to a high table dialogue to come to a lasting solution.
But after his enthronement, Emolot said that unity and education are key among his priorities for the Iteso across all walks of life. He asked for additional scholarships from the government at Soroti University, saying that the current 100 slots given are not enough for the region.
Emolot revealed that the construction of Emorimor Palace and offices for ICU will be some of the first interventions in his reign. According to the new Emorimor, his leadership will offer opportunities for the Iteso to grow and develop from different ventures that his office will coordinate.
The word Emorimor means “the unifier.”
