The Imbalu committee was instituted after the factions within the Bamasaba Cultural institution failed to agree on who should organise this year’s festivities in absence of a legitimate Umukhuka.
The cultural committee instituted by the government to run this year’s circumcision (Imbalu) ceremony has revealed that they are struggling to clear debts with people hired to provide services during the festivities.
The Imbalu festivities were held at the Mutoto Cultural Ground in Mbale City on August 13.
However, in an interview with Daily Monitor on Tuesday, Mr Godwin Mubuya, the chairperson of the committee, said some service providers are yet to be paid because the committee lacks money.
The service providers include suppliers of cows, cement, labour works, and casual workers.
Mr Mubuya said they had a budget of Shs760 million, which money was to be mobilised from well-wishers but what they collected was not enough.
