Peace Service ambassador Milton Kambula has rallied for a focus on family in all programs and budgeting processes.

This was in his speech at the first ever Inter-religious family festival at Kololo Independence ceremonial grounds in Kampala Uganda.

Milton Kambula the brain behind the family festival said family transcends political and religious affiliations.

"Indeed, we are interconnected in that vision, that God did not create us as FDC, as DP, as NRM, as... All the things that divide us right now, beyond Global South, Global North fighting, everyone," Kambula said.

He explained that as Africans, Ugandans share  common  values of Ubuntu which emphasise living for greater good, compassion, sharing, forgiveness, practices of peace and forgiveness, love.

"And so, we will not behave contrary to what is in the scripture. If then we say we are human beings, we must do what God designed us in the original composition and menu of humanity. And then it is through that, that we will be able to end identity based conflicts, wars, violence, radicalization. And then we can nurture a new nation, that is focused to fulfill a heavenly vision."

Kambula said that in order to achieve human rights, economic prosperity, democracy , environmental conservation and good governance, the family must be stable first.

"The family must be the focus of our program, of the national budget, of the policies we are acting upon, our leadership, how is the family feeling, feeling the mindsets of everyone in the family," Kambula said.

President Museveni was the chief guest at the function.
