The Kumam people of Teso and Lango regions in Uganda can now hear the law speak their language. In a landmark move, the Uganda Law Reform Commission (ULRC) has translated the national Constitution into Kumam, a vital step towards cultural preservation and legal empowerment.

Monika Ebiru Enyou, a ULRC representative, presented 60 copies of the translated document to the Kumam cultural institution, headed by H.H. Papa Raphael Otaya. This gift holds immense value, as Papa Otaya himself emphasized.

“This Kumam Constitution is a double blessing,” he declared. “It not only allows our people to understand their legal rights directly, but also serves as a powerful tool to preserve our language and heritage.”
