(1888PressRelease) October 27, 2024 - Count Miklos Cseszneky has received the esteemed Grand Cross of the Most Honorable Order of Omukama Chwa II Kabalega from King Solomon Iguru I of the Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom. This prestigious award is conferred upon individuals who demonstrate exceptional dedication to charity, humanity, and the welfare of the people, resonating with the order’s unofficial motto: "For the King, For the People, For Justice."

The Grand Cross is named after Omukama Chwa II Kabalega, a celebrated national hero of Uganda known for his commitment to justice and service to his community. This recognition not only honors Count Cseszneky's philanthropic efforts but also acknowledges his steadfast support for the Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom and its cultural heritage.

Count Miklós Cseszneky serves as the current head of the historic House of Cseszneky, one of the oldest noble families from the former Kingdom of Hungary. His lineage can be traced back to Duke Ketel, a significant figure in Hungary's medieval history, who played a vital role in the region’s early political landscape. The Cseszneky family has a long-standing tradition of public service, with notable contributions to humanitarian efforts during the 20th century, including their roles in rescuing Jews during the Nazi occupation of Hungary.

Beyond his noble heritage, Count Cseszneky is a distinguished political scientist, psychotherapist, lecturer, and author. He has advised numerous prominent politicians and royals worldwide, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to his endeavors. A passionate advocate for free speech and the revival of Stoic philosophy, he has established scholarship programs aimed at supporting underprivileged students interested in Stoicism. Additionally, he founded the Order of Marcus Aurelius, a philanthropic organization inspired by Stoic teachings, which seeks to promote ethics and compassion in society.

This honor bestowed upon Count Cseszneky underscores the importance of international collaboration and the shared values of charity and justice across cultures. It serves as a reminder of the potential for global partnerships rooted in compassion, mutual respect, and a commitment to human dignity.

As the Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom continues to play a vital role in Uganda’s cultural and social landscape, this recognition highlights the ongoing efforts to foster goodwill and collaboration among nations, celebrating individuals who work tirelessly for the betterment of humanity.
