Some Lukiiko Ganda members instead of standing up to question and debating the Buganda Kingdom fiscal budget are whispering to the press about their problems:
22 August, 2017
BY JAMES KABENGWA
BUGANDA STATE, KAMPALA: A section of Buganda Lukiiko members (parliament) have punched holes in the kingdom’s 2017/18 budget, saying it ignores key multi-billion revenue sources.
Speaking to Daily Monitor on condition of anonymity recently, members wondered why billions of Shillings have been earmarked for maintenance of specific income generating infrastructure yet they were not indicated as revenue sources in the Shs74b budget that was read last month.
“When we preach transparency and we don’t practice it, then it becomes a problem,” one of the dissatisfied members said. According to the disgruntled member, the kingdom budget did not show how much money will be collected from the multi-billion Mirembe Villas real estate project, which the kingdom is jointly carrying out with some Chinese investors at Kigo on the shores of Lake Victoria.
“Each apartment will cost an average of $260,000 (about Shs936m). Already, 49 apartments are on sale but the kingdom’s share is not stated in the budget,” one of the Lukiiko members said. “Lease fees collected by the Buganda Land Board (BLB) from Kabaka’s land and rental fees from the kingdom buildings such as Masengere, among others were also not indicated as sources of revenue in the budget yet they are the key revenue contributors,” another Lukiiko member noted.
According to the budget, making access roads within Mirembe Villas, the rehabilitation of Masengere House, Kabaka’s Lake, Mengo Court and other unnamed kingdom installations will consume Shs4.5b this financial year.
BLB was allocated Shs7.9b to scale up the Kyapa mu Ngalo campaign, popularising the e-card land registration as well as operationalising land laws such as Envujjo and Busuulu.
Buganda Kingdom Information minister Noah Kiyimba defended the budget, saying sources of revenue for the kingdom are clear and all Lukiiko members took part in the budget process and wondered why some are questioning it.

Kabaka Mutebi praises Nkangi's 'selfless service'
March 9, 2017
Written by URN
The Kabaka of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi has heaped praise former Katikkiro Jehoash Mayanja Nkangi for standing with his family when Sir Edward Mutesa II was in exile.
Nkangi, 85, passed away on Monday morning at Nakasero hospital where he had been hospitalised for several weeks.
In his message read out by his sister, Nnalinya Sarah Kagere to hundreds of mourners at Namirembe Cathedral today, Kabaka Mutebi expressed sadness over the death of Nkangi noting how the deceased began serving the kingdom over 59 years ago.
Kagere represented the family of Mutesa during a requiem mass. She also carried a written condolence message from the Kabaka.
The Kabaka described Nkangi as a person who has exhibited hard work, humbleness, patience and respect for all people in his service over the years.
"We have walked with him during times of joy, sadness and challenges. We appreciate his role when the kingdom experienced turbulent times in 1966. We thank God for his life and for enabling him fulfill all his responsibilities," read part of the condolence message.
Mutebi appealed to his subjects to pick an example from the late Nkangi's transparency and service. On her part, Kagere described Nkangi as a wise man, hard worker and transparent.

Nkangi served in many high-profile offices in his long public life, including as Katikkiro (prime minister) of Buganda from 1964 to 1966 when the Obote I government attacked Mengo palace and exiled the then Kabaka Mutesa. Nkangi also fled to exile in England and continued to perform his duties albeit in abeyance, even after Mutesa's death.
When Mutesa died in November 1969, Nkangi together with the then crown prince and now the Kabaka, Mutebi, performed the succession rituals expected of a crown prince within the norms of the kingdom.
Later, Nkangi returned in 1971 upon the fall of the Obote regime and participated in the return of Mutesa's remains in March the same year. He again finalised the rituals that were supposed to be performed by the crown prince Mutebi.
Kagere recounts the death of her father Mutesa describing it as a bad dream and at the time she got close to the late Nkangi as a 'young girl' while in exile, in London.
Kagere further described Nkangi as a great statesman of Uganda, saying that while in exile the deceased at all times kept the hope alive within Mutesa's family saying that he kept telling them that a day would come and they would return to their home land.
Nkangi kept in his custody Buganda's ceremonial mace - the Ddamula - a symbol of authority of the office of Katikkiro from 1966 until 1993 when kingdoms were restored.
The deceased participated in the enthronement of Mutebi at Naggalabi - Buddo in July 1993.

TOKYASAANA KUYITIBWA KATIKKIRO WA BWAKABAKA BWA BUGANDA
Bwe wajja ku bwa Katikkiro twafuna enkenyera olw’engeri gye wa bufunamu, naye oluvannyuma twafunamu essuubi ettonotono nti oba onoobikkako ku mize gyo gye tumanyi. Era ne tutwala obuvunaanyizibwa okukuwandiikira ebbaluwa nga tukusaba oyigire ku nsobi za gwe waddira mu bigere. Eky’ennaku twawona mubbi ne tufuna omuzigu. Munno obuzibu bwe yalina n’Olulyo Olulangira gaali Masiro g’Ekasubi kyokka gwe mu kifo ky’okulaba ekyo n’oba mwegendereza, wa kikinaza buwawaatiro! N’ogoba olulyo olulangira lunnannyini masiro mu masiro nti toyagala bulombolombo bwalwo, n’otuuka n’okulonderayo akakiiko akako ku buwangwa bw’Olulyo Olulangira nga ffe bannannyini otuyigganya! Olina ekitalo kye we wulira. Okumanya osiiwa n’ofuna obuvumu okutongoza Mugema w’Amasiro n’embiri owuwo atali wa nnono yaffe! Ssebo oli muwemu, tojooga oweweeta mbwa kabina. Tetumanyi kikuwaga ku yingirira buwangwa bwa lulyo Olulangira, naye beera mu kakafu nti oja ku kyasimula.
Jjuuzi twakubwa enkyukwe bwe wali otegeka okugenda e Bulaaya amawanga gaayo bwe gaatandika okulondobamu abantu be gakkiriza okuyingira ewaabwe ne be gatakkiriza, nga gakozesa ekipimo kya kugaana bisiyaga. Ekituufu tetukuwulirangako ku buvunaanyizibwa bw’oyolesa ne we kiteetaagisa ng’ovumirira ebisiyaga. Kya twewuunyisa Abaganda abaavaayo okuvumirira ebisiyaga okugaanibwa ne bakkirizaayo bannaabwe bokka, nga Katikkiro Mayiga gw’ omu ku bo. Tulina okukwekengera mu nsonga eyo kubanga toyagalira ddala buwangwa ng’ate n’abasiyaga kye basookerako kuwakanyabuwangwa era tebaagala bulombolombo; ekijja mu bwongo kye bakola.
Wegambagamba nti oli muto, wandiba omutuufu kubanga byonna by’okola bya kito. Naye abakulu ka tukubuulire; oweza emyaka 45 n’envi, ekyo kiraga nti n’obuto bwe weegamba tobumanyi. Kati kyetendeke okyemanyiize nti oli musajja mukulu era otandike okukola ebiyisa omuntu nti ‘musajja mukulu’. Okoze eby’obujoozi bingi ku Buganda nga welimbise mu buto era gwe wakubiri okuddirira Apolo Kaggwa mu ba kaggwensonyi abatyoboodde ennyo ennono n’obuwangwa bwa Buganda. Oli mubuufu bwa Apolo Kaggwa obulako kutta Kabakawo nga bwe yakola Kabaka Mwanga, olwo omaleyo byonna bye yakola Obwakabaka. Labira ku bitabo by’owandiise ebijooga Obwakabaka bwaffe, ne Apolo Kaggwa yeepanka okuwandiika ennono y’ensibuko ya Buganda.
Otumanyidde n’osukka n’otuuka okujooga Kabakawo n’omutuulamukifuba! Ffe tulaba okaada nga Kabaka ng’era omuyisa nga nti mwenkana; olambula Obuganda ne bakuzimbira ebiyitirirwa n’okukusimbira ebitooke, ba kukubira eŋoma ng’oyitawo era ne bakweyalira, otambula ne Nnamulondo kw’otuula era ddala ng’omuntu agwa mu ssa lya Ssabasajja; nga tetumanyi nti oli musajja munne! Ekyo tetusobola ku kigumiikiriza. Bino bye bimu ku by’ejjoogo ly’okoze ku Bwakabaka bwa Buganda ebikugobesezza ku bwa Katikkiro;
Tulowooza nti olina engeri gy’oteeteramu n’abantu abalya ebisiyaga okusinziira ku by’olugendo lw’Ebulaaya. Kitukuba ensonyi okubeera ne Katikkiro omusiyazi, ekyo kizira nnyo mu Buwangwa bw’Obwakabaka bwa Buganda.
Watuula Kabakawo mu kifuba, n’otakoma okwo n’otwelagirako mu lwaatu! Nnabagereka naggulawo omwoleso Katikkiro Mayiga n’alangirira ku laadiyo ya CBS okuguggalawo; Nnabagereka naggulawo eby’abakyala Katikkiro Mayiga n’abiggalawo; Nnabagereka naggulawo olukiiko Ttabamiruka Katikkiro Mayiga n’aluggalawo! Ekyo kikolebwa bba Kabaka yekka ne balamube Abalangira n’Abambejja. Ha! Wamulumbye n’Ebulaaya ng’akola ekisaakaate!
Abataka abakulu b’Obusolya bwe baakusaba okubanyonnyola endagaano ey’ekimpatiira gye wajja nayo ku bwa Katikkiro, wa bayita masaŋanzira nti tosobola kusomera ndagaano mu masaŋanzira. Ekyo kiwemula Omuganda obutamanya bukulu bwa jjajjaawe omukulu w’akasolya k’ekika.
Wawamba amasiro g’Ekasubi n’olangirira ku ladiiyo CBS nti toyagalayo bya Bulombolombo. Ssebo, Obuganda ggwanga lya bulombolombo era naffe Abalangira tuli ba buloombolombo; e Kasubi olinayo kakwate ki kw’osinziira okutwewanikako? Bakuziika mu masiro e Kasubi oba olinayo jjajjaawo? Okwo okumanyiira kwooleka nti tomanyi bukulu bwa Balangira nti bakusinga.
Watongoza Mugema w’embiri n’Amasiro ng’otyoboola obuwangwa n’ennono ya Buganda n’olulyo olulangira. Kale gwe musajja wattu Mayiga omanyi ki ku nnono ya Mugema n’olulyo olulangira? Weeyitaki, gw’ani azanyira ku nnono yaffe?
Watyoboola olulyo olulangira ng’oteeka akakiiko k’obuwangwa e Kasubi ng’olangiridde nti toyagala bulombolombo bwa lulyo olulangira. Byonna ebikolebwa ku nsibuko zaffe embirin’amasiro bikulemberwa Balangira. Omulangira ye mwana omulenzi azaalibwa mu nsikirano y’olulyo olulangira.
Oswaza Obwakabaka bwa Buganda ng’ogenda osabiriza olutakoma. Gwe munnaffe oli kaggwensonyi toswala, naye Obuganda obufudde bulombi obuteesobola, ekyo kituweebuula. Gwe mu kukuzibwa tebaakukubira ku sabiriza? E Buganda omwana bw’ayitiriza okusabiriza aswaza muzadde we.

Kampala. Buganda Kingdom has reignited its long-standing quest for a federal system of government, saying it is the only vehicle to transform the kingdom.
Speaking at a thanksgiving ceremony for his appointment as third deputy kingdom prime minister and minister for constitutional affairs at Namirembe Cathedral in Kampala, on Sunday, Mr Apollo Makubuya said it was pointless for Buganda to continue supporting those who are opposed to a federal system.
“We need to negotiate with the rest of Uganda and divide power equally because this will help Uganda develop very fast, this is where I am going to concentrate and whichever politician is visiting the prime minister asking for political support, they must first declare their stand on federo,” he said.
He said if power is divided equally, Uganda would be able to solve its problems.
“Since 1993 when Buganda was restored, it is 22 years since we have been running the kingdom activities without taxes or donations, meaning the kingdom can stand on its own and it has done tremendous work,” Mr Makubuya said.
Complementary
The kingdom minister also said rather than compete, a federal system would complement government efforts and ensure there is rule of law so that areas such as education, health and conservation of natural resources are respected.
“Article 1 of the Constitution says power belongs to the people and government derives its power from people’s wishes, which government should always listen to,” he said.
Ms Rebecca Kadaga, the Speaker of Parliament, who attended the service, said the message would be delivered to the relevant offices.

The Kattikiro has said that he is going to become very strict for all those subjects that want to meet their King.
With a row simmering between Buganda katikkiro and members of the royal family (Abalangira), Charles Peter Mayiga has moved to restrict princes’ access to the Kabaka.
Addressing the Buganda Lukiiko (Parliament) at Bulange on Monday, Mayiga hinted he could enforce cultural norms that regulate the Kabaka’s interaction with princes.
“Our traditions prohibit a prince from getting close to the Kabaka; we had loosened a bit because of cultures copied from monarchies such as England’s,” Mayiga said.
He announced that any prince visiting the Kabaka’s palace and other cultural sites would have to seek the katikkiro’s approval.
Kasubi tombs
Mayiga’s comments came after a September 19 letter written to him by Lukenge Katoogo, the vice chairperson of the governing council of the royal family, denouncing Mayiga’s leadership.
The letter, titled “You are no longer fit to be called katikkiro of Buganda kingdom”, was copied to Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II and clan heads, among others people.
The major source of Mayiga’s problems with the royal family is the reconstruction works on Kasubi tombs, with Lukenge blaming Mayiga for sidelining the royalty.
“You chased the royal family from the tombs because you don’t want our cultural practices; forgetting the tombs are our ancestry, you continued harassing us and also went ahead and named a [reconstruction] committee,” Lukenge wrote.
The letter also accuses Mayiga of treating himself as an equal to the Kabaka, citing the arches and banana trees that decorate the roads during his fundraising tours as well as moving with his own chair, something royalty considers a preserve of the Kabaka.
Mayiga did not directly respond or refer to most of the contents of the three-page letter, but announced that he would not allow the princes to convene any meetings from the tombs.
“None of the structures at Kasubi was designed for meeting purposes,” Mayiga said, further adding that the known ancestral place for the royal family is ekigango (meeting place) on Balintuma road near Nakulabye.
Disappointed
Mayiga also warned kingdom officials against making statements in the media unless sanctioned by him. To further plug holes in the control of information, Mayiga said, three kingdom employees were to be sacked for leaking secrets to the media.
“We have people that are turning themselves into unofficial spokespersons; they have issued media statements [on the progress of the Kasubi tombs reconstruction] without my approval; this must stop,” Mayiga said.
However, the katikkiro admitted that he was disappointed with the slow progress of the reconstruction works. The works are seven months behind the March 16, 2014 deadline he fixed in July last year as he launched the ettoffaali fundraising drive.
He blamed the slow progress on both cultural and technical complexities.

Addressing the Buganda Lukiiko [parliament] at Bulange Mengo on Monday, Mayiga said those who claim President Museveni bought him with a Shs 300m dummy cheque don’t know what they are talking about.
Mayiga used his speech in the Lukiiko to address social media speculation that he too had been bought by the president after a picture of him receiving a dummy cheque of Shs 300m from President Museveni during the King Edward Muteesa II memorial lecture on November 18 at Sheraton hotel circulated widely.
“There are some people who asked me why I accepted the Shs 300m from the government. They wonder whether this was meant to buy me. If you look at me, do you think I can be bought? I can’t be bought and I’m not for sale,” Mayiga said.
He explained that the money was for the reconstruction of Kasubi tombs that were torched in 2010, before he became Katikkiro.
He said during the time of Katikkiro John Baptist Walusimbi, government gave Buganda kingdom Shs 2 bn for the reconstruction of the tombs and promised that if Mengo gave proper accountability, more cash would trickle in. Hence that’s how they promised another Shs 2 bn that had never come until last month when the president delivered the Shs 300m.
“By the way, don’t the people of Buganda pay the most tax in Uganda? What’s wrong if they return some of it to us and we reconstruct the tombs of our departed kings? The president didn’t get this money from his pocket. Therefore, he didn’t buy me. I can also assure you when he calls me for more, I will go and pick it,” Mayiga said.
In a press statement recently, the minister in charge of information at Mengo, Noah Kiyimba, said that so far Shs 6bn has been spent on the reconstruction of the mausoleum, a Unesco World Heritage site. He added that construction work is almost 95 percent finished and very soon they will be able to hand it over to the Kabaka.

Kampala, Buganda State:
Registration of tenants on Buganda Kingdom land in Kampala and surrounding districts starts today, with a warning to illegal tenants to secure their tenancy or risk losing out.
According to kingdom prime minister Charles Peter Mayiga, some people connive with district officials to illegally acquire titles on Kabaka’s land, which is leased out to the public.
“Whenever anyone buys land in Buganda, that person should first find out the status of the land. Some districts have been on our land for so long when the land was under government,” he said.
Fraudsters warned
Mr Mayiga said some district officials have sold Kabaka’s land while others have fraudulently acquired freehold land titles on the land. He advised such buyers to first consult Kabaka’s chiefs before making any transaction.
Speaking at the launch of the mass registration exercise of tenants on the kingdom land in Kyadondo and Busiro counties at the weekend, Mr Mayiga said no legal tenants would be evicted.
This two-month exercise is voluntary, with each tenant paying a subsidised fee of Shs600,000 for surveying the land as well as processing a title deed, Mr Mayiga noted.
“This is a historic day where tenants are to get title deeds on Buganda Kingdom land for the first time. This is a golden opportunity that people should embrace to survey and title their land,” he said.
He advised them to use the titles to secure bank loans and to get out of poverty.
The kingdom premier hailed President Museveni for returning kingdom land but also said the Kabaka still expects to receive more.
The chief executive officer of Buganda Land Board, Mr Kyewalabye Male said after October 31 , 2015, anyone registering land will have to pay the usual fee of Shs1.5 million.
“The registration has been ongoing in the other counties of Buganda Kingdom. A total of 58,000 tenants have been registered. Come September 1, we are embarking on Busiro and Kyadondo,” he said, adding, “We have already educated the public and we expect a smooth exercise.”

The Katikkiro of the State of Buganda, Mr Mayiga has critisised the National Policies of the ruling political party (NRM) for the first time in many years:
Change of direction? Apart from offering ideas which Buganda Katikkiro (prime minister) Charles Peter Mayiga thinks would help in the transformation of the country, Mayiga in his book- "Uganda 7-Key Transformation Ideas," challenges some of the views President Museveni has espoused in the past and punches holes in the story of “Steady Transformation” during Mr Museveni’s time.
Eriasa Mukiibi Sserunjogi writes
MONDAY DECEMBER 19 2016
President Museveni (centre) receives Kabaka Ronald Mutebi (2nd left) at State House, Entebbe, in September 2009, seven years ago.
To transform Uganda, Mr Mayiga argues, seven things need to be sorted out. These are rule of law, good governance, the economy, education, monetising agriculture, infrastructure ad settling the Buganda question.
The list of the issues to be addressed that Mr Mayiga puts out, of course, is not new, except that there is some freshness to the way he puts them across. But perhaps more importantly at the moment, Mr Mayiga tackles Mr Museveni’s governance record with a boldness that he has not exhibited during the years he has been katikkiro.
Mr Mayiga was appointed katikkiro in May 2013 and has less than six months to run on his four year term, which is renewable. He replaced Mr John Baptist Walusimbi, who was himself appointed to the kingdom’s topmost administrative position in a clear attempt to de-escalate tensions between Buganda Kingdom and President Museveni’s government.
Before Mr Walusimbi’s appointment, relations between the kingdom and the government were very bad. Mr Daniel Muliika, Mr Walusimbi’s predecessor, had openly backed Dr Kizza Besigye’s shot at the presidency in 2006 and his sacking after just a year in office and replacement by Mr Walusimbi, which was openly opposed by some Buganda loyalists, signalled a change of approach by Kabaka Mutebi.
Mr Walusimbi is an engineer and his firm had participated in the lucrative refurbishment of State House Entebbe, which made kingdom loyalists to associate him with Mr Museveni. On taking office, Mr Walusimbi approached his tasks in a heavily depoliticised manner and seemed to move to repair relations with the government. At some point he picked some Shs1.2b from the central government for the kingdom to assist in promoting agriculture.
But even then, Mr Walusimbi’s team was stuffed with radical players, including the influential Mr Mayiga himself, who was the kingdom spokesperson and minister for cabinet affairs.
As the fallout between the government and the kingdom over land escalated, Mr Mayiga and two other kingdom officials were picked up by State functionaries and detained in different places in western Uganda for more than a week.
The other officials were Mr Medard Lubega Sseggona, who then deputised Mr Mayiga as kingdom spokesperson, and Ms Beti Nambooze, who the Kabaka had appointed to chair a sensitisation committee on land matters. Mr Sseggona and Ms Nambooze would later be elected to Parliament.
Given his firebrand character during his long service to the kingdom, Mr Mayiga was expected to continue the hardline stance when he took over as katikkiro. But he moved to further de-escalate the tensions between Mengo and the central government the moment he took over from Mr Walusimbi.
Within three months of Mr Mayiga’s appointment as katikkiro, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between President Museveni and Kabaka Mutebi at State House Entebbe.
In the MoU, the central government accepted to restore to the kingdom a number of its assets which were confiscated after the 1966 invasion by government forces of the palace of King Edward Muteesa, Mr Mutebi’s father. Muteesa fled to exile in London, from where he would die in 1969. The kingdom was abolished after the attack, only to be restored in 1993 under Mr Museveni.
But Mr Museveni and the kingdom quarrelled almost immediately after the restoration.
In the new book, Mr Mayiga says the fallout “started with the promulgation of the 1995 Constitution, which did not cater for much of Buganda’s proposals”. The new Constitution, Mr Mayiga writes, “ was expected to heal the wounds of the 1966 Crisis and resolve the Buganda Question,” an aspect to which he commits a full chapter in the book.
Change of direction?
Mr Mayiga had been a protagonist in the fallout and on being appointed katikkiro he restated the five key demands that Buganda has – the first one being respect for the king – but he clearly moved to change approach.
Before he assumed the position, ruling party members were not welcome at Buganda functions, especially those that took place in Lubiri at Mengo. Insults and objects would be hurled at those that dared to attend.
Mr Mayiga changed this by having President Museveni attend Kabaka Mutebi’s 20th coronation anniversary in Lubiri Mengo in July 2013. At the function, of course with the Kabaka in attendance, attendees tried to boo the President in protest against his presence, but Mr Mayiga warned them against the act.
He reminded them about the supremacy of the will of the kabaka in Buganda, saying it is the kabaka who had invited the President and disrespecting the kabaka’s guest amounted to disrespecting the kabaka himself. The hecklers went quiet. This was just days after the said MoU had been signed and land titles returned to the kingdom.
Mr Museveni said while ending his speech at the function: “Finally, I congratulate Your Highness, the Kabaka, on the Memorandum of Understanding you signed with me the other day. That MoU deals with the issues some people who like to recklessly fish in troubled waters have been using regarding some issues including the former masaza-magombolola estates as well as the harmonisation of the rights of the indigenous cultural groups in Buganda.”
In a further indication of the warming of relations between the two centres of power, Mr Museveni sent Vice President Edward Ssekandi to Kabaka Mutebi’s 60th birthday with a nice present – a posh car.
Opposition politicians, many of whom had viewed Mengo as an ally in the fight against Mr Museveni, were most dejected. Some of them openly spoke out against Mr Mayiga, who they accused of selling out to Mr Museveni.
Ms Nambooze and FDC spokesperson Ssemujju Nganda, two radical Baganda politicians who had made the kingdom radio station, CBS, their base, went off the station’s talk shows.
In the meantime, Mr Mayiga waged the biggest social fundraising drive to happen in the country in many years, raising billions to rebuild the burial site for Buganda’s kings, Kasubi Tombs, and complete a commercial building near Bulange, the seat of Buganda Kingdom.
He preached hard work and a renewal of faith in people’s abilities on his visits across the kingdom, and on many cases conducted fundraising and mobilisation drives in other parts of Uganda and abroad.
To many, Mr Mayiga seemed bent on recreating Buganda as an economic and not necessarily a political empire.
Change of direction?
For those who looked at Mr Mayiga’s intentions in that way, Uganda: 7-Key Transformation Idea will have come as a surprise.
Apart from offering ideas which Mr Mayiga thinks would help in the transformation of the country, he challenges some of the views Mr Museveni has espoused in the past and punches holes in the story of “steady transformation” during Mr Museveni’s time.
Over the years, for instance, Mr Museveni has placed the blame for Africa’s failure to defend itself against colonialism at the feet of the pre-colonial rulers like Buganda’s Muteesa I and Mwanga II.
At the height of the disagreement between Mr Museveni and Kabaka Mutebi in September 2009, when more than 30 people were shot dead in Kampala and other Buganda townships as people protested the government’s blocking of the Kabaka’s visit to Kayunga, Mr Museveni addressed Parliament.
“We are totally against the kings being involved in politics. The kings failed to defend the sovereignty of Africa. That is why we were colonised. The colonisation of Africa was a vote-of-no-confidence in tribalism and the pre-colonial kings. Africa failed to defend herself because of tribalism and tribal political organisation. Modern Africa must transcend and discard tribal organisation,” Mr Museveni told Parliament.
In the introduction to the book, Mr Mayiga writes: “I believe I understand why Africa is backward. But my major interest is in getting solutions. I see little value in dwelling on slave trade, or the failure of the then leaders to beat off colonialists when they first came in the 19th Century. In any case, slave trade and colonialism triumphed because the aggressors came with superior technology.”
Mr Museveni has penned numerous treatises attempting to explain the genesis of Africa’s troubles, and slave trade, colonialism and neo-colonialism feature prominently in his writings.
Mr Mayiga says whereas describing the problem is important, getting the prescription right and implementing them in the right way is what will get Africa out of its problems.
Mr Mayiga writes: “Now we can start off on why Africa lagged behind in technological innovation despite being the cradle of civilisation. Such arguments are long, but we don’t have that much time; instead we ought to concentrate on flushing out poverty.”
The arguments about direction aside, Mr Mayiga takes issue with much of what has been under Mr Museveni’s government, including the building of roads, which Mr Museveni has in the recent past presented as one of his biggest achievements.
Mr Mayiga writes: “And I see the roads under construction – I, actually, regularly use the ones whose reconstruction or repaving (very few are brand new … most are merely being maintained or improved upon) has been completed. Between the major towns, the ride is in fact generally smooth, never mind that the roads are single lane. Ideally roads should be at least double lane - for safety and ease of traffic.”
When people are in danger, Mr Mayiga writes, the police will have no means of transport or equipment to respond in time, and when they go to the courts their cases will not be resolved years on end. He dots the 456-page book with examples, many drawn from his experience.
In the end, as we stated at the outset, it would appear to the reader that very little works in Uganda.
And, for those who followed Mr Mayiga before he became katikkiro, would not be surprising. The only surprising element is that he chooses to release the book at this time, only six months before the expiry of his first tenure as katikkiro, a job he has done while taking care to keep off national politics.
Could Mr Mayiga be signalling that he will serve only one term as katikkiro, especially given that Kabaka Mutebi, through his actions and appointments, has in the recent indicated that he wants no more trouble with President Museveni?
It is hard to attempt an answer to this question.
The Buganda princes disown Pater Mayiga as Katikiro:
On July 21, 2011, then Buganda Premier Eng. J.B. Walusimbi called for an extraordinary high-level meeting at the kingdom’s political seat in Bulange, Mengo.
Walusimbi was a soft-spoken leader whose diplomatic style of governance had won hearts in the central government.
In fact, it was a shock that during his reign tensions between Buganda and Mengo hit boiling levels, leading to the infamous 2009 Buganda riots that left a trail of bloodshed and unprecedented levels of destruction of property.
At that time, there were calls within some radical quarters in the Kingdom to overthrow Walusimbi, with many royal members accusing him of being in bed with the central government.
Some sections of Buganda seem to have enjoyed the belligerent nature of Walusimbi’s predecessor, the radical Dan Muliika.
At the Bulange meeting, Walusimbi met with senior kingdom officials who included Moses Kayima, Omutaka Nakirembeka, princes, cultural officials among others.
In his opening remarks, Walusimbi blasted what he described as “overwhelming acts of insubordination, indiscipline and impunity” by Buganda princes (Abalangira).
He further accused them of using media platforms and informal meetings to “abuse the institution of the Kabaka, seize ownership of Amasiro (Kasubi tombs); and harass leaders in a bid to sell off over 350 miles of land for personal gain.”
He also named the ryal members whom he said were hell-bent on “destroying the institution of the Kabaka.”
They included Prince David Alexander Ssimbwa, the son of Kabaka Daudi Chwa II; Prince Bamweyana Walugembe; Mutebi Ssekamaanya (son of prince Hannington Muteb); Princess Gladys Nandawula (daughter of prince John Lukanga and grandson of Daudi Chwa II.).
Others were Edward Ndawula Kimera, Paul Lukenge Katoogo, Kajumba Genza, Luwaga, Ndagire, Nakibinge, Bannaava and Bassaava.
During the meeting, some princes tried to defend themselves against the accusations but it was later agreed the public be informed about their unbecoming conduct.
The public was told in an announcement that they should not tolerate lies, persuasion or intimidation by these royals.
Calm before storm
When Walusimbi gave way for Prime Minister Peter Mayiga, it was hoped that he would bridge the gap between Mengo and this section of ambitious royals.
However, this was not meant to happen.
a cross section of royals led by Lukenge Katoogo have initiated a grassroot campaign to overthrow Mayiga.
They accuse him of blocking them from overseeing the management of works at Kasubi tombs, saying such moves are disrespectful of royals.
The groups further claims that Mayiga formed a special committee to manage the tombs without consulting them before kicking out royals.
Mayiga is also faulted of not speaking out against immorality in the country including homosexuality. They said when the international community rose up in arms against the Anti-gay law, Mayiga remained mute.
“Mayiga should have showed responsibility as a leader to condemn this vice. Instead, he just travelled abroad to beg for money (etoffali project),” said Lukenge in a document being circulated in media houses.
“These actors are opposed our cultural norms which threatens the future of Buganda as a tradition and kingdom. He should have condemned them.”
Mayiga is also accused of presiding over “royal functions organised by Nnabagereka Sylvia Nagginda yet he is not a royal member.”
The premier is also faulted for “cultivating a ground for a begging culture in the Kingdom yet Buganda can take care of itself.”
Lukenge noted: “When a child over begs, it embarrasses the parents.”
He also blamed Mayiga for travelling in a “large convoy of security men from government,” adding, “We don’t think he is one of us. Why is he worried of moving around freely with his people?”
However, insiders say this group is opposed to Mayiga as he has blocked them from selling land for personal benefit.
Mayiga was not readily available for comment.
His supporters said the premier has blocked greedy royal members from meeting the Kabaka.
“These princes and princess are just selfish. They did not appoint Mayiga. How on earth can they imagine that he will be overthrown? He asked people to voluntarily contribute money to develop Mengo’s income-generating projects. But these greedy people want free money to spend at their will,” said a royal member who preferred anonymity so as to speak freely.
“Buganda is not for princes but all of us. Whoever puts his needs above Buganda’s interests is an enemy of the kingdom,” the source added.
Analysis
In a recent article, Patrick Nakabale, Central Region Youth MP and General Secretary NRM Parliamentary Caucus, commended Mayiga “for not heeding the views and opinions of some elements who would want to continuously saw seeds of discord between the Kingdom and its people on the one hand, and the central government and the rest of the country on the other.”
This, said Nakabale, “also bolsters the recent Memorandum of Understanding that the central government signed with Buganda Kingdom. “
“The Katikkiro is a leader who is upbeat and passionate about the development of Buganda Kingdom. At least for most of the time he has engaged the Government, he has been gentle, civil and all-accommodating,” noted Nakabale.
“He hasn’t been the aggressive politician he was before being appointed Katikkiro. In fact some pundits had started to think that his appointment as Katikkiro, the Kabaka was looking for someone who would fiercely engage central government. They have since been proved wrong as Mayiga has shown that he is not for war but peace and the speedy development of the Kingdom.”
Nakabale praised Mayiga for traversing most of the Kingdom territories interacting with his people and mobilising resources from the subjects to support Buganda.
Eno ye bbaluwa egoba abalangira mu masiro g' Ekasubi:
Now it is seven years for the Katikkiro of Buganda:
By World Media
11 May, 2020
The Katikirro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga had a press conference to mark his 7th year as the Prime Minister of Buganda. On the same event, he told the press about a book that he was soon to launch and unveiled some of the achievements of his seventh year.
Yet, behind the press conference was a coded message. It was the Katikirro’s farewell speech. We can now reliably confirm that as soon as the Lockdown is fully lifted, the Kabaka will unveil a new Katikirro.
According to our sources, the Katikirro had planned to use the press conference to prempt the news of his replacement. “He had not planned to mark his 7th anniversary. But he felt it best to set the record straight on his achievements before his replacement is announced. He has not had it easy. There have been many unfriendly forces,” Mugwanya tells us.
Mugwanya continues; “one of the things the Katikirro did was to streamline processes. He put in place things such as approval matrix. He formalized the procurement process at the Kingdom. By doing this, he earned himself many enemies. Take an example of the Majestic brands, it meant that to work with the Kingdom, you had specific targets and deliverables. This did not go well with many people. Many were selling off land in the Kingdom without following process, Katikirro made it practically impossible for all this to continue.”
As such, Katikirro told the press that although the journey had not been easy, there were some things to celebrate. He talked of Masengere for example. But he could not explain the flattening of Ngule as the Kingdom beer brand.
But his body language was revealing. It revealed a hurting man, hurting, angered, betrayed and feeling like his reign had been nipped short in the bud. He took swipes at some of his public enemies, Tamale Mirundi and Frank Gashumba.
He described Mirundi as a drunkard and Gashumba as a conman. Only a man on his way out could afford to go bareknuckle. We can confirm that Mayiga has begun delagating most of his duties as he prepares to handover. “He tried to ask for an extension. But the Kabaka thinks it is time for a fresh pair of gloves. His replacement is equally young though less charming. Kabaka thinks after seven years, there is not so much someone can turn around. Katikirro will be remembered for etoffali and kyapa mu ngalo,” Mugwanya opines.
The Central Government will have Katikirro to thank for a fonder relationship between Buganda and the NRM government. It is these ties that he fought hard to mend. A part of him realized that he could win more through friendship than having rifts. Yet never before had many people dared to attack the institution of Buganda than in his time. “Remember when Sheikh Muzaata took him on. Remember when many poor Baganda defied the kyapa mu Ngalo. At some point Mayiga’s problem was shooting beyond his reach. He had to temper his ambitions. He tried to catch more than he could handle. It is this humility that was lacking. He saw himself as Mr. Superman, Iron Man. He thought past Katikirros were docile. He did not bother to learn from them but little did he know that Buganda was not built in one day. We cannot say that he failed to try, let us say he tried and failed.”
It will be the end of a reign for a man who came in seven years ago. The youth in Buganda will miss him. But eventually even the best of dancers exits. To some, Mayiga had become as big as the institution he represented. That has a way of getting into people’s heads. It was his undoing. Over-ambition flared with over confidence.

Buganda Kingdom Attorney General, Apollo Makubuya in the 61st Kabaka Birthday
Cycling race competition at Bulange, April 9 2016.
Ssabasajja Kabaka Mutebi,
Mulubiri e Mmengo,
Kampala Kyadondo.
Gusinze Ai Ssabasajja,
Ensonga: Obuganda bwandiba mu Ssengavuddemu
Ssabasajja Kabaka gye buvuddeko twamuloopera engeri abakungu mu Bulange e Mmengo gye balumba Ennono ya Buganda bwe baazinduukiriza Omulangira Katebe ne bamukuba emiggo wamu n’ab’omunjuuye. Ensonga enkulu bw’etyo elimu n’amawano, teyatwalibwa ng’ekikulu era tekyayogerwako, n’Omulangira Muwenda Mutebi bwe baalya ne Katebe Obuganda teyafaayo. Ekyo kitwoleka nti oba oli awo, twaloopera muganzi mu nzikiza.
Tuzze tusonga ku bikolobero ba katikkiro bye bakoze era bye bakyakola Obuganda, nga bajooga n’okutyoboola Obuwangwa n’Ennono yaffe Abaganda. Ssabasajja twamuloopera kaweefube abalabe ba Buganda gwe baliko okusangulawo Obwakabaka bwa Buganda nga bayita mu kukyusakyusa Obuwangwa n’Obulombolombo bwaffe. Twalambulula enkola zaabwe nga tusonga ne ku bantu ba kaggwensonyi abali mu Bulange, abeeyita Abaganda nti era bafiira ku bya Buganda naye nga mu mazima batukuusa. Buganda bali mu kugilya bagitunda okugimalawo.
Abantu abo, we twogelera bino, bakyaliyo mu Bulange bagenda mu maaso tewali abagambako. Buli kikolobero Abaganda kye babakwatiramu, beesingisa Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi nti y’abeera abatumye okukikola. Eky’ennaku, Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi tavaayo ku bakangavvula ne bwe tumutegeeza, wabula tulaba ayongera kubaweelera okugenda mu maaso. Bwe wabaawo Omuganda avaayo okwesimba mu mukolobezi yenna okumukangavvula nga yeesingisizza Nnamulondo, Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi avaayo bukuukuubira okutaasa basajjabe.
Eky’okulabirako kili mu Masiro e Kasubi. Katikkiro Mayiga yagawamba ng’ayogera lwatu nti ye, omwana wa Kabaka omukulu, Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi amuwadde Amasiro okugazimba nti era tayagalayo bya Buwangwa na Nnono ya Lulyo Olulangira kubanga bimulemesa okutuukiriza ebigendelerwa bye. Eyo Mayiga amazeeyo emyaka nga tewali kanyego okuva ewa Kabaka wadde ng’Abaganda bamulaajanidde nyo okubataasa ku Katikkirowe. Abaganda bwe balabye Kabaka tafaayo, ne basinziira okwelwanako beetaaseeko katikkiro omukolobezi. Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi yalaba guli gutyo, olwo n’avaamu eddoboozi ng’agoba Katikkirowe Mayiga mu Masiro n’abalogo Nnamikka ne bba Mulumba abaliyo. Era Kabaka n’alangilira nti Amasiro e Kasubi Nnabulagala agaggaddewo okutuusa nga gawedde okuzimba.
Abaalowooza nti Kabaka yali avuddeyo okutaasa Obuganda ku Katikkirowe Mayiga, ekya Kabaka omulamu okuggala Amasiro ga Ssekabaka kyatuleetera enkenyera. Tuludde nga tusomesa nti Kabaka omulamu talina buyinza wadde akamu mu Masiro g’abafu, alinayo buvunaanyizibwa ng’Omulangira. Bwe twakyetegereza, twakizuula nti tekwaali kugolola nsozi, wabula kwali kutaasa musajjawe Ssabalabbayi Mayiga obusungu bw’Abaganda abaali baswakidde olwa kaggwensonyi oyo okubanyaga ng’abakana omusimbi gw’ettaffaali n’emitwalo enkaaga mbu ez’obusenze ku ttaka lya Kabaka. Kyokka n’akozesa ensimbi zaabwe z’abakamuddemu okujooga n’okutyoboola Obuwangwa n’Ennono yaabwe.
Twawulirako nti ne bajjajjaffe Abataka abakulu b’Ebika nabo beegaganula ne balagira Kabaka okugoba Katikkiro Mayiga omulabbayi ku bwa Katikkiro. Ekyo kituwa essuubi nti bajjajjaffe baweddemu empewo ne bategeera obukulu n’obuyinza bwabwe ku Kabaka ne mu Bwakabaka. Naye tukimanyi bulungi nti tewali Mutaka, ku baliwo mukaco kano, asobola kwogera kintu kyonna Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi ky’atayagala ekimunyiiza oba kyatamugambye. Awo tukyalinawo okwebuuza nti, ‘ddala ani yawadde Abataka amaanyi n’obuvumu okulagira Kabaka gwe baludde nga beegayilira okusisinkana, nga buli lwe bamulabako ku mikolo bayaayaana buyaayaanyi?’ Awo tulabawo akakodyo.
Kimanyiddwa nti Obwakatikkiro buzze butambulira mu mikono gy’abalabe ba Buganda bokka okuva lwe bwawambibwa Apolo Kaggwa Gulemye, era tekibangawo ne bakkiriza atali omu ku bbo okubulya. Omuganda omutuufu, atali wa kinywi, okubulya asanga obuzibu obutalabwangako. Twalaba ekyaliwo nga Katikkiro Muliika alidde. Omwaka ogumu Muliika gwe yamala ku Bwakatikkiro yakyuusa entegeka z’abalabe ba Buganda ku Bwakatikkiro, era yagenda okubuvaako nga butandise okudda ku buwangwa obutuufu. Walusimbi bwe yajja, enkola Muliika gye yalekawo yamulema okukyusa, era yabuvaako ng’akukkuluma.
Ekyaleeta Mayiga kwali kukola ebyalema Walusimbi. Ekyo Mayiga yakyogelerawo nga tannaba na kukwasibwa Ddamula nti, ‘nzize okumaliriza ebilemye Walusimbi.’ Kye yasookerako kwe kuwamba Obwakatikkiro mu lwatu kubanga ekyo Walusimbi kyali kyamulema. Waaliwo obubonero obwakulembera okujja kwa Mayiga, nga bukolebwa mu bugenderevu, okutegeka Abaganda bakkirize ebikolobero ebijja baleme okubyogerako olw’okuba kilabika Nnamulondo y’esiimye, nti era omuntu oyo muganzi nnyo eri Kabaka. Obubonero bwe bumu butandise okulabika nga bukulembera okujja kwa Katikkiro Apolo Makubuya. Olwa leero obuganzi bwa Makubuya eri Nnamulondo buyimbilirwa buli wamu, ne we kiteetaagisa. Ako kabonero ka nkukunala nti Makubuya ye Katikkiro addako.
Apolo Makubuya abadde nnyo wakati mu buli muvuyo ogukoleddwa ku Bwakabaka bwa Buganda n’Abaganda, naye nga mwegendereza obutaggyaayo bwanga butereevu. Kale abadde teyeelaga ng’ali mabega wa ntimbe. Oyo ye Makubuya omuganzi eri Kabaka.
Wano jjo ly’abalamu, Abalangira baakwata ekyapa nga Makubuya ne Mayiga babbye ne batunda ettaka ly’embuga ya Nnalongo Mawuuno. Wabula beewolereza nti Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi ye yabatuma. Mu kifo kya Kabaka okuvaayo n’agoba abakulu abo olw’okumuwemula, Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi yakyuukira Balangira, okukkakkana nga Ssabalangira Kayima Moses amugobye. Era eyo ye yali entandikwa y’omuvuyo gw’okuleeta ensowole okuva mu kika kye Ngabi (Abalangiraabapangilire) okufuga Olulyo Olulangira, nakaakano ogukyagenda mu maaso.
Ani yali akilabye? Enaku zino buli kika e Buganda kilangira. Emmamba ziri ssatu naye zonna zilina Abalangira abenkana n’abaana b’eŋoma, Effumbe nalyo lirina Abalangira ab’enkana n’abaana b’eŋoma, Enkima, Eŋonge, n’ebirala bingi. Kale enkyukakyuka zilaga nti nabyo luliba lumu ne bijja ne bifuga Olulyo Olulangira olw’abaana b’eŋoma omuva Kabaka wa Buganda.
Ebyo byonna Katikkiro Omugole, Apolo Makubuya abilinamu omukono wamu ne Amb. Matovu, Mayiga, Musanje Godfrey n’abalala bangi abakyali mu lutimbe.
Omugole Apolo Makubuya yali ku mwanjo nyo wakati mu kuleetebwa kw’amawano g’ensonga z’omwana matankane “Omulangira” Ssemakookiro Richard. Kale tetuyinza kuwubisibwa ku buwufubwe mu bikolobero by’akoze Buganda. Era kigambibwa nti Apolo Makubuya amanyi bulungi obuzaale bw’omwana Ssemakookiro nga ne bazadde b’omwana abatuufu, taata ne maama (abaddala) abamanyi bulungi nyo, nga ffe bwe tubamanyi.
Abaganda baludde nga bakisongako nti Apolo Makubuya ow’Effumbe muzzukulu w’Omutaka Walusimbi e Bakka, alina endagaano mu kyama ey’okuba Katikkiro alondoole okutuusa ng’omwana Ssemakookiro Richard akuze, si na kindi ng’alidde Obuganda (afuuse Kabaka).
Tusaba Ssabasajja Kabaka atwale okulabula ku nti kwa nsonga. Waliwo ebilango ebiyita ku zilaadiyo ne mu mpapula z’amawulire nti, “Obuganda buli mu kutegeka Nnaggalabi!?’
Mu buwangwa bwa Buganda, Kabaka bw’akolebwako emikolo gy’e Nnaggalabi taddayo ku linnyayo kigere kye obulamu bwe bwonna. Mu Buwangwa bwa Buganda, buli Nnaggalabi lw’ateekebwa teekebwa waba waliwo Kabaka alidde oba anaalya Obuganda. Kaakano bwetulaba nga Nnaggalabi ategekebwa, tumanya nti eliyo emikolo gya Ssemanobe ku Kabaka alidde oba anaalya.
N’olw’ensonga eyo, enteekateeka (z’okutemula Kabaka asikizibwe omwana) ezaaliwo nga Ssemakookiro Richard aleetebwa, zitandise okuddamu okulabikako. Olaba ne Nnaggalabi ateekebwa teekebwa!!! Tukiraba nti olukwe luno lwe luleeta Makubuya ku bwa Katikkiro kubanga amanyi bulungi amayitire ga Ssemakookiro Richard.
Wangaala ai Ssabasajja Kabaka
Ewangaale Nnyaffe Buganda enunulwe ku babbi b’ettaka lyaffe.
