Maracha District Woman MP Hon Driwaru Jennifer who is also a staunch Choir since Childhood, thanked the Choirs and she rallied for recognition and appreciation of Song leaders for each Chapel in the upcoming music festivals, because the Song leaders experience a lot of hardship in training and organizing the Choirs for Music Festivals.
The woman MP used this opportunity to urge the Choirs to participate in the upcoming National Voters Register update by the Electoral Commission of Uganda ahead of the 2026 general elections.
The parish priest for Offude Parish Rev. MSGR Dr. Cosmas Alule who doubles as the Chairperson for Lugbara speaking Vicariates advised the Choirs to maintain the discipline in order for them to progress.
Upon completion of the two days Choirs Music Festival, certificates were awarded to all the 20 chapels who participated in the festival.
The best three Chapels will be selected from this festival to go and participate in the inter Vicariate festival.
