Clan leaders, members from Lurujo, Tara, Padruku, Pajama and many others have held a cultural gala to commemorate the funeral anniversary of Ms Abelea who was murdered when she was a wife of Mr Ali Kenyi one of the then famous clan leaders in Kakwa tribe in the past 300 years ago.
The event organized in Abele village, Midria Sub-county in Koboko District showed hundreds of people gathered to participate in the traditional music dance using cultural music equipment like drums, tail of cows, spears among others.
The leader for Padruku clan, Mr Bayoga Malisi who participated in the cultural gala said, because of the lack of traditional ceremony been held to offer cultural prayer to commemorate life of their deceased grandmother who died over 200 years, it manifested into a traditional misfortune called "Nyoka" that caused the death of many people in the family.
While explaining the importance of such cultural gatherings, Mr Wasa Majid the Pajama clan speaker said, anything to do with murder, must have to be addressed and prayed over it culturally for its effectiveness.
Mr Osman Draga a Muslim leader and also subject of one of those clans that participated in the event stated that, religion has not come to destroy culture but rather it is modernization which has made many people to abandon culture.
He appealed to people to reject some stigmatization described as "Backwardness" as far as culture in concerned.
