UGANDA: ACHOLI UNITY COMES ALIVE AS KACOKE MADIT ROCCO PACO IS CROWNED BY PROF. ANYANG NYONG’O’S HISTORIC ENGAGEMENT

“Luo leaders talk big, as proud with their scholars, but remain on receiving hand, would Prof. Nyong’o’ Amb. Olara Otunnu and Chief Justice Owiny Dollo Cihgamoi cooperation make a total effort to revamp LUO again.”

GULU CITY-TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23,2025

By Okumu Livingstone Langol, Our Correspondent

Prof. Peter Anyang Nyong’o’, the governor of Kisumu, Kenya respected academic and political figure visited Gulu City in mid-December 2025, as part of a historic cultural and diplomatic engagements with Acholi leaders and communities was a new dawn of remarriage if Luo is to keep their gene.

Political commentator for the Great Lakes Regions views the latest visited by Lou icon Prof. Nyong’o’ as total break through in Lou quest for leadership, unity, marriage, as the visit was organized by the two initiator of Rocco Paco Acholi cultural revived norms, Amb Olara Otunnu and Chief Justice Owiny Dollo Cihgamoi as they focusing on strengthening ties between Kenyan Lou and Acholi communities that cut across Sudan as they planned to celebrate shared heritage.

Francis Opoka, aka Mukungu Caro, still cast doubt, Opoka argued and questioned? So what, we have seen Lou scholars across Northern Uganda and Lou Nyanza as atop most with their western academia dancing at pulpit, and yet there is nothing to prove otherwise. The Acholi community living in Northern Uganda are the poorest, and Jalou are the worst in Kenya backyard. And yet we have Dr. Amb. Olara Otunnu, Prof Nyong’O and names like Prof. Patrick Lumumba those people mired the whole world in terms of quality and quantity.

“I would be very happy when cultural unity and shared heritage emphasized the deep historical and cultural connection been the Lou communities of Kenya and Acholi in Northern Uganda describing the visit as reawakening of ancient kinship, emphasized by Prof. Nyong’o bring young girls and boys from Lou land of Kenya during the visitation in thousands to Acholi and, that is what I call reconnect and celebrate common tradition.” Mukungo Caro roared and warned.

Mukungu Caro stressed, let us rebuild broken ties, which born out of fear from both sides, a core focus was on cultural preservation and revitalization, to highlighted the importance of engaging youth and traditional leadership in protecting languages dances and other cultural practices that span across East Africa’s Luo speaking regions, let us set how much would Luo girls marriage cost, if we agree that UGX 4 million we lim me nyom Akumu would be, then let Rocco Paco put it as bye law, and Acholi traditional cultural chiefdoms should approve and second it.

That is the only way to strengthen the regional bond, we are fed up with the notion of empty talk, while elders engaged in dialoguing in Gulu City, in Kitgum district, Lou youths would be dancing engaging in rocco wat. We want this to take place soon, not up to next season.

Prof. Nyong’o during the discussion on the 17, December 2025, observed themes of unity, identity, resilience, and mutual respect, often describing Gulu and the Acholi region in poetic terms as heartland of resilience, culture a “Living fire” to be carried forward.

Prof. Nyong’o visited cultural engagement beyond formal meeting, where he attended even traditional gatherings and toured historical sites, where he highlighted mutual respect and cultural diplomacy where he participated in dancing with the first lady.

The TASK Center in Gulu City was full to capacity, as Acholi elders from all walks of life, the Acholi community living in Jinja, Kampala and Entebbe Cities joined their counterpart. The Acholi Lender’s from Agago, Omoro, Pader, Lamwo, Kitgum, Amuru, and Nwoya Districts all came to have a glimpse of Prof. Anyang, Nyong’o. although the year 2025, December 27-29, would have been days for Rocco Paco, however, Prof. Nyong’o’s week-long stay with Central Luo scooped Rocco Paco, for the better.

A told of and visited by Jaramogi Odinga Oginga 65 years ago to Acholi land would propel Prof. Nyong’o in his foot mark, as Jalou charge for ODM leader.
