The committee further resolved that a high-level delegation from Kamwenge District will travel to Karuziika Royal Palace on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, to convey the district’s respect, condolences and solidarity to the Kingdom.

The delegation will comprise the official district team. However, the district has indicated that the visit will remain open to willing members of the greater Kamwenge community who wish to join in paying homage to the late King.

The planned visit is expected to provide an opportunity for district leaders and residents to stand in solidarity with the Tooro royal family and the people of the Kingdom during this period of mourning.

King Oyo's passing has prompted tributes from communities, institutions and leaders across Uganda, with many reflecting on his years of service and his role in promoting development, unity and cultural heritage.

As Kamwenge prepares for the visit to Karuziika Palace, the district says it remains committed to preserving and documenting the King’s legacy and the relationship between the district and Tooro Kingdom.
