FULL LIST of newly elected Members of the 11th Parliament of Uganda who will swear-in starting May 17th 2021 to May 20th 2021 is out!
Your own, Aloysius Mukasa Talton Gold, MP elect Rubaga South Constituency will be sworn in on May 19th 2021 and we are reliably informed, this successful businessman is planning to throw a mega party for his voters a few days after swearing-in, to salute them for electing him massively.
Meanwhile, Democratic Party’s Eugenia Nassolo who badly lost to Hon. Mukasa during the January 14th2021 elections has been linked to President Museveni’s son Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba in a bid to help her in an election petition she filed against the opposition NUP elected Lubaga South legislator.
“Ms. Nassolo is ready to work with NRM and will sign any deal provided Hon. Mukasa victory can be twisted and he is kicked out of Parliament. She is comfortable working with NRM than NUP.” Said a source from Nassolo’s camp who attended the meeting.

Sources privy to this news Website has revealed to us how a frustrated Nassolo is looking for a way to President Museveni or his son Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba in a swap deal to tame Hon. Mukasa as her election petition faces a hard rock.
Sources say, Nassolo has no problem with going to bed with NRM provided the ruling Party finds a way of influencing her petition and court throws out Hon. Aloysius Mukasa. 
We are told, this DP woman is troubled after Mukasa she was trounced in round one when her application to serve him through a substituted service was dust binned by High court judge Esther Nambayo.

In Election Petition no. 07 of 2021 dated March 19th 2021, through her lawyers of Alaka & Co. Advocates,  Nassolo is seeking the election of Hon. Mukasa Aloysius Talton Gold be nullified.
She is accusing him of bribing voters and for not being an eligible voter.
Hon. Mukasa, however, through his lawyers of M/s Semuyaba, Iga & co. Advocates asked court to dismiss Nassolo’s petition with costs saying it has no merit and is based on political mind games.
Out of 14 candidates who contested for Rubaga South MP seat on January 14th 2021, Aloysius Mukasa emerged the overall winner with 49,501 (Forty Nine thousand, five hundred one) votes and Nassolo came second with 12,893 (Twelve thousand, Eight Hundred ninety three) votes only.

In a four page response dated March 29th 2021 to Nassolo’s petition, Hon. Mukasa’s lawyers have told court that, “The 1stRespondent (Aloysius Mukasa) shall aver and contend, the Petitioners petition is frivolous, vexatious and without merit and is based on political mind games and therefore the Petitioner’s prayers have no merit and cannot be granted by this court and A PRELIMINARY POINT OF LAW SHALL BE RAISED THAT THE PETITION IS INCOMPETENT AND DOES NOT RAISE ANY CAUSE OF ACTION AND IS STATUTE BARRED.”
“The Petitioner shall be put to strict proof thereof.” Vowed Mukasa’s lawyers.
The case has not been allocated a judge and this is not expected this soon.
We are told, Mukasa’s camp is very ready for the hearing and now advises Nassolo to mind about how to meet Mukasa’s costs because she has zero chance to win.
Asked about information moving around that Nassolo is seeking for NRM’s hand of help to win her petition, Mukasa’s camp has told us that, “She is just logging a dead horse. Let her just look for a job in NRM. Rubaga South constituency spoke loudly and no one will ever change their choice. Tell her to stop day dreaming.”

Owek. Kyewalabye Male lwe yakyalira embuga ya Namuyonjo e Bugerere

Bya Meddie Kityo

NGA 22/02/2019, Ssaabasajja yasiima n’alonda Owek. David Kyewalabye Male ku bwaminisita avunaanyizibwa ku by’Obuwangwa, Ennono n’Embiri mu nkyukakyuka Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II mwe yakendereza omuwendo gwa baminisita be okuva ku 25 ne bafuuka 14. Owek. Kyewalabye avunaanyizibwa ku biri mu Lubiri ayogedde naffe ku nsonga eziwerako.
Munyiivu eri abo abapeeka Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga okubabuulira ku bulwadde bwa Kabaka, agambye butamanya nnono ya Buganda kye kibatawanya.
Mu mboozi eyaakafubo n’omusasi waffe, Owek. Kyewalabye agambye abo abeefuula nti baagala Kabaka ne batuuka n’okugenda ku mitimbagano gye bawandira omuliro ku nsonga ze batamanyiiko, ne balumba Katikkiro n’abakungu ba Kabaka abalala, bakikola lwa butamanya bya buwangwa, nnono na bulombolombo bwa Buganda.
Yagambye nti, “Mu nnono za Buganda, Kabaka talwala, Kabaka addugala buddugazi. Teri Muganda amanyi nnono ayinza kugamba nti Kabaka mulwadde. Kubanga mu bulamu bw’abantu be, talina kuba nti mugonvu. Abaganda batwala Kabaka okuba nga Katonda waabwe ow’oku nsi. Mu nnono, Abaganda bakkiriza nti Katonda waabwe ow’oku nsi, nannyini nsi Buganda, obulwadde obukwata abantu ye tebumukwata. Katonda waabwe talwala. Ekyo ky’ekitiibwa kya Kabaka mu nnono zaffe.”
Yiino emboozi mu bujjuvu;

Ekibuuzo: Ggwe nga Minisita avunaanyizibwa ku Buwangwa, Ennono n’Embiri, tolaba nsonga yonna ya ssimba mu babuuza Katikkiro ku by’obulamu bwa Kabaka?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Mu nnono zaffe, Kabaka talwala. Ye Katonda w’ensi Buganda. Eyo y’enzikiriza yaffe. Abo abatambuza bye batamanyi ku mitimbagano, tebamanyi nnono. Ffenna kye twebuuza, ebiruubirirwa byabwe bye biriwa? Kubanga bw’oba ogamba oli Muganda ossa ekitiibwa mu Kabaka naye nga tosobola kuba muwulize eri Kabaka n’abakulembeze mu Bwakabaka, kwe kugamba kitegeeza ennono ya Buganda togimanyi.

Ekibuuzo: Okubuuza ku bulamu bwa Kabaka kitegeeza butamanya nnono?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Mu nnono ya Buganda Kabaka tabeerako kintu kibi. Ebigambo byonna ebimukozesebwako, tebibeera bya lulimi lwa bulijjo ne bw’abeera ali mu ssanyu oba mu nnaku. Ebigambo ebikozesebwa ku Kabaka, si bye bakozesa ku muntu waabulijjo nga nze Kyewalabye. Okugeza; Kabaka teyeebaka, awummulamu buwummuzi. Kubanga okwebaka kufaananyiriza kufa. So tewali kiseera w’oyinza kugambira nti Kabaka tatufuga. Kubanga bw’ogamba nti yeebase oba ng’ategeeza nti mu kiseera ekyo, si y’ali mu mitambo gy’Obwakabaka bwe. Mu nnono za Buganda, Kabaka aba teyeebase wabula abeera awummuddeko buwummuzi ekitegeeza nti akyali mu mitambo gya Bwakabaka bwe.
Toyinza kugamba nti Kabaka alya emmere, Kabaka abeera mu bibbo. Ggwe omukopi ggwe olya. Kabaka tabeera na Kisaakaate, abeera na Lubiri. Ggwe ne bw’ozimba obwaguuga bw’enju, toyinza kugiyita Lubiri. Olubiri lubeeramu Kabaka yekka. Ekyo kiba Kisaakaate.

Ekibuuzo: Abagamba nti Nnamasole alina Olubiri bakikola mu bukyamu?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Nedda. Naye abeera n’Olubiri. Mu Buganda, Nnamasole yekka y’alina obuyinza kumpi obuvuganya n’Obwakabaka. Ye maama wa Kabaka. Era Kabaka bw’agaana okukusonyiwa omusango, n’ojulira ewa Nnamasole n’agamba nti nkusonyiye, ogwo omusango guba guwedde. Nnamasole ye yekka akkirizibwa mu Buganda okuba n’endowooza endala ku ya Kabaka, tewali mulala. Kubanga kikkirizibwa nti omuzadde maama abeera wa kitiibwa.

Ekibuuzo: Nnamasole naye wa kitiibwa?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Ye. Edda, Buganda yabeeranga n’abeebitiibwa bana bokka: Owek. Katikkiro, Owek. Omulamuzi, Owek. Omuwanika n’Owek. Nnamasole. Abasigadde bonna babeera nga bakungu. Ebitiibwa ebyo bigaziyiziddwa ku mulembe gwa Kabaka Mutebi. N’alagira nti buli akika mu Lukiiko, abeera wa kitiibwa.

Ekibuuzo: Ogambye abantu abatamanyi nnono be bali mu kutyoboola Kabaka, Katikkiro, Obwakabaka n’ennono y’Abaganda. Minisitule yo ekozeewo ki okubangula abantu nga bano abasinziira ku mikutu Mukwanirawala bamanye obukulu bw’ennono n’empisa zaffe mu Buganda, beewale okumala googera ku bye batamanyi?
Owek. Kyewalabye; Ekisooka, ffe ng’Obwakabaka tukola buli kisoboka okuyimirizaawo empagi essatu eziyimirirako Obwakabaka. Mu mpagi zino mwe muli; Abataka, Abalangira n’Abambejja, ssaako n’empagi y’Abaami. Ago oyinza okugayita amasiga asatu agatuulako Obwakabaka. Amasiga gano asatu gaddamu okunywezebwa wano jjuuzi mu 1993 Obwakabaka lwe bwazzibwawo oluvannyuma lw’okusaasaanyizibwa mu 1966. Kyokka ate ne mu 1966 amasiga gano asatu gaagenda okusaasaanyizibwa obukulembeze bwa Kawenkene Obote, ng’abafuzi b’Amatwale baatandika dda okuganafuya. Mu 1966, yali ntikko ey’ekyo ekyatandikibwa omufuzi w’Amatwale.

Ekibuuzo: Tubadde tulowooza okutabanguka kw’Obwakabaka kwatandikira ku Dr. Milton Obote mu 1966, amagye ge lwe gaalumba Olubiri, Ssekabaka Muteesa II n’awang’anguka, ekyaddirira kukisa mukono?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Bw’osoma mu byafaayo byaffe, mu bufuzi bw’Amatwale kumpi tewaali Kabaka yafuga mu mirembe okuviira ddala ku Ssekabaka Daudi Chwa. Ono ate yabonyaabonyezebwa nnyo Abazungu olwo nga batandise okwagala okukutula mu ggwanga lye. Nga bagamba obuyinza buli Ntebe obw’Omuzungu ne mu Palamenti yaabwe. Abazungu bennyini mu ndagaano ya 1900 baddira obuyinza bwa Kabaka ne babwawuzaako ne bamugabanyiza ku nsi ye gye yalinako obuyinza. Ne bamutemeratemerako ky’alina okufuna nga kino baakikolera mu Lukiiko mwe yali atudde n’abaami be abakulu okwali; Sir. Apollo Kaggwa, Stanislas Mugwanya ne Zacharia Kisingiri. Era ne bw’olaba omugabo gw’abaami ba Kabaka abaali mu ndagaano y’Olwenda nga batemaatema ebyo, omugabo ogwabwe gwasukkuluma. Kubanga baafuna ng’abantu ne bafuna ate nga woofiisi.

Ekibuuzo: Ebintu byasoba kuva mu ndagaano ya 1900?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Okuva mu 1900, twalina Kabaka nga muto nga ye Daudi Chwa. Sir. Apollo Kaggwa eyali Katikkiro, yafugako Buganda nga Kabaka newankubadde yali Katikkiro. Noolwekyo, okuva awo wonna, Buganda ezze eyuuga. Bino bye mulaba nga waliwo abatyoboola Nnamulondo, kyazimbibwa bafuzi b’Amatwale. Nga bateesa ku nsonga z’Obwakabaka nga tebasoose kufuna lukusa kuva wa Kabaka. Nga bakola ebintu n’abaali abakuza. Abazungu baatawaanya nnyo Daudi Chwa. Y’alinga ataalina buyinza ng’aguluba n’Abazungu. Yatuukanga n’okuva mu Lubiri n’abeerako ewa maama we e Salaama. Ky’ova olaba, Daudi Chwa yalina Olubiri e Salaama. Teyafuna nnyo mirembe.

Ekibuuzo: Ne ku Muteesa II?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Ye. Kyokka ono yawakanya nnyo Abazungu. Mu bumpimpi, okuva mu 1900 okutuuka kumpi ku mulembe Omutebi, Buganda teyafugibwako Kabaka ng’atandika nga mukulu. Noolwekyo kitegeeza, mu kiseera ekyo, obuyinza Kabaka bwe yandibadde nabwo mu bujjuvu, bwali wakati we n’abali abamuddukanyizaako gavumenti. So Obwakabaka ogwo gwe muyaga bwe guzze guyitamu era mu 1966, Obote kwe kujja n’abukuba ekigwo ekisembayo. Byatandikira mu kibalo ky’Abazungu nga ne Kabaka asobola okuvuganya mu by’obufuzi bya Uganda nga naye alina okukola ekibiina avuganye. So, Obote yakozesa magezi g’Abazungu okusaanyaawo Obwakabaka. Eky’alinga nti Kabaka ky’ayagala, Abaganda be bamulwanirira, ne kikyusibwa nga ky’ayagala asooka kukirwairira. Obuyinza obumu ne budda mu mikono gy’Abaganda. Ky’ova olaba waliwo Abaganda na buli kati abalowooza nti bo be balina eddoboozi eri Kabaka. Era ky’ova olaba na buli kati, baagala balage nti eno embeera be bagimusalirawo. So nga mu nnono za Buganda, Kabaka ye y’entandikwa era y’enkomerero. Kabaka takola nsobi, abaami be be bakola ensobi. Ye tasobya. Era olw’okuba tasobya, Kabaka teyeetonda. Tayinza kuvaayo n’agamba nti bannaffe tubeetondedde nnyo.

Ekibuuzo: Ebyafaayo bino bye bivuddeko abasiiwuufu b’empisa ku mitimbagano abayisa olugaayu mu Nnamulondo?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Ebyafaayo bino bye bigenze bisaanyaawo ennono zaffe. N’owulira okwegugunga kw’Abataka, Abataka bbu n’emirala. Gino gyali mipango gy’Abazungu.

Ekibuuzo: Obwakabaka buvuddewo mu 1966?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Abantu bangi baalowooza nti Obwakabaka tebuliddawo. N’ebintu bingi ebyali eby’Obwakabaka baabigana. Abaami abaalina obuvunaanyizibwa bwonna ebintu byafuuka bya baana baabwe. Y’ensonga lwaki ebitaawuluzi byonna byatundibwa, ettaka ly’Amagombolola lyazimbibwako, ebiggwa eby’ennono ne bisengwako nga baalowooza Obwakabaka buweddewo.
Kati Obwakabaka bugenze okuddawo, ng’ebyokukolako bingi. Nga kati olina okuzzaawo Obwakabaka naye ate n’okusomesa abavubuka bakitegeere ekintu kye bazzeemu. Nti Kabaka buno bwe buvunaanyizibwa bwe era ennono egamba bweti ne bweti.

Ekibuuzo: Bano abavuma Katikkiro n’okuyisa olugaayu mu Nnamulondo tebalina bika mwe bava? Lwaki tebibagunjula kuba Obwakabaka bwaddawo n’ebika weebiri?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Abafuzi b’Amatwale ne Obote okulumba Olubiri mu 1966 kyanafuya nnyo Obwakabaka ne kitwaliramu n’ebika. Ky’ova olaba ebika ebiwerako, bibadde mu kkooti ya Kisekwa nga biwoza misango egyekuusa ku by’obusika. Kubanga mu biseera ebyo ebika byalimu obunkenke bw’amaanyi nnyo n’abamu ku bakulu b’ebika babinnyika mu nsuwa. Noolwekyo, ebintu byaffe olw’okuba biri mu nnono, bye tukola byonna biri mu nnono nga twetaaga obudde bungi okubisomesa abantu. Kuba kati ebika ebimu tuzza bizze.

Ekibuuzo: Zo kkooti z’ebika zikyaliwo?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Luli twabanga ne kkooti okuviira ddala ku luggya ppaka ku Kasolya. Kabaka yandagira ne mbawandiikira bazizzeewo. Ng’ekigenderwa, enkaayana eziri mu kika zimalibwewo mu mitendera egy’ebika. Kati era kye tugezaako okuzimba mu bajjajjaffe Abataka abakulu b’ebika okukakasa nti kkooti z’ebika ziddawo. Nga bwe wabeerawo obutakkaanya mu bazzukulu, busobola okukolebwako mu bika ne buggwaawo.

Ekibuuzo: Owek. Ebika ebimu ng’ekyengeye, Enkima n’Enseenene, birina abakulembeze babiri babiri. Lwaki ensonga y’obukulembeze mu bika ebalemedde ddala okugonjoola?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Egonjoddwa naye abamu ba mputtu. Kabaka asaze emisango mingi. Ogw’Ekkobe yagusala, n’asala Ogw’Engeye, n’emirala mingi.

Ekibuuzo: Naye waliwo abaatamatira n’ensala eyo naddala Abengeye era baddukira mu kkooti enzungu.
Owek. Kyewalabye: Buli lw’okola ekyo, obeera ovudde mu nnono. Kabaka mu buyinza bwe, ateekawo ekika ekipya oba okuggyawo ekyo ekiriwo. Abennyonyi, yali emu oba bbiri, Ssekabaka Muteesa ye yazisaasaanya, n’azifuula ez’omuwendo. Kuliko omu eyamutabangula, eyali omukulu w’ekika nga tamuwulira. N’akiggyawo. Ky’ova olaba ng’Ennyonyi kati nnyingi. Kabaka Mutebi y’akutudde mu Mmamba n’azifuula ssatu. N’Emitima y’agikutuddemu ne gifuuka ebiri. Obwo bwe buyinza bwa Kabaka. Kubanga mu ndagaano y’Ennono, Kabaka gye yakola n’Abataka, obuyinza obwo baabuwa Kabaka Ssaabataka nti mu bonna y’abalamula. Noolwekyo, obuyinza obutondawo essiga bwa Kika, kyokka Kabaka y’alina obuyinza obukakasa essiga eryo. Okuva ku ssiga okutuuka ku mukulu w’akasolya, Kabaka nga Ssaabataka, y’abakakasa. Y’ensonga lwaki buli lwe wabaawo omukulu w’ekika omupya, bamutwala ne bamwanjulira Ssaabataka.

Ekibuuzo: Naye enkaayana mu bika zisusse?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Nedda ebika byabangamu enkaayana. Ennaku zino ekiriwo, emikutu gy’amawulire mingi buli kimu gikifulumya mangu. Naye Kabaka azze asalawo eggoye mu bika eby’enjawulo. Okugeza, Abenseenene, yagamba Kalibbala y’akulira ekika ky’Enseenene, n’alagira Mugalula bamuwe essiga. Ggwe okyalaba ng’Abenseenene bakaayana?

Ekibuuzo: Mu kika ky’Engeye, waliwo abagamba nti Charles Mayanja Kyesimba ye yadda mu bigere bya kitaawe eyali Kasujja. Ate b’ani abaalaga Hajji Minge (kati omugenzi) ewa Kabaka nti ye Kasujja?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Baali baalya ensowole. Wakati awo baali baawamba. Y’ensonga lwaki Kabaka yazzaayo Obwakasujja oluvannyuma lw’enjuyi zombiriri okuwoza. Era eno y’ensonga lwaki Minge baamutereka Busujja ku butaka bw’Abengeye.

Ekibuuzo: Naye ate ettaka ly’e Busujja ekyapa kiri mu mannya ga Charles Mayanja Kyesimba.
Owek. Kyewalabye: Ekyo kituufu era tugezaako okukitereeza n’Abengeye. Nteekateeka okugendayo essaawa yonna. Obwakabaka bwe bwavaawo, abaali baddukanya ebintu by’Obwakabaka abamu baabiwamba. Olaba ekyabadde ku ttaka ly’e Kyambogo. Oba basobola okubba Kabaka wano w’asula ate olwo e Busujja? Oli n’akyusa yiika ezisukka mu 600 n’aziwa omuntu omulala. Ettaka ly’ebika lyonna lyabeerangako Nnamwama. Ettaka erimu, baaliwandiisa nga liriko amannya g’abakulu b’ebika naye nga basosaako ekitiibwa kyabwe okugeza ‘Kasujja’ ekitegeeza ettaka lya kika. Naye kati baatuusa ekiseera nga baliwandiisa ng’eryabwe. Nnankere ow’Emmamba Kakoboza, kitaawe ettaka yalisingira Omuzungu era ne balitunda. Kyokka ate n’aliraamira omwana! Embeera ey’obutabeera na bwesimbu si ya nnaku zino. Kubanga oli bw’afa n’alaamira omwana we, omwana we ayinza obutakola bulungi. Abaana abatunda ettaka, ne mu bakulu b’ebika mwe bali.

Ekibuuzo: Obutaka bw’ebika, liba ttaka nga lya mukulu wa kika oba lya muntu buntu?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Buba butaka bwa kika. Ennaku zino nasaba Abataka nti buli mukulu w’ekika, ateekewo akakiiko akalaba ku kiraamo kye. Balabe biki by’ateeseemu. Ne mu bika, basseewo obukulembeze obulaba ku biki omukulu w’ekika by’alamye. Kubanga ebimu ku bitabangudde ebika, by’ebiraamo by’abakulu b’ebika. Mu byafaayo byaffe, buli butaka bw’ekika we buli, ekika ekyo we kisibuka.

Ekibuuzo: Ettaka ly’ebika lyaweebwayo Bwakabaka?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Erimu lyaweebwawo Bakabaka ab’enjawulo, naye erimu baalifuna mu butaka bwabwe. Abempologoma e Lwadda, Abengo baali batambula ne bayita mu Busujju omwo, ne basibira e Butambala, Ab’ennyonyi Endiisa ne basibira e Buddu era ne bagamba nti tusiisidde wano. Kati buli kika we kyasangibwa, awo waafuuka ewaakyo. Kati noolwekyo Obwakabaka bwe bwanywera Abazungu nga bamaze okujja, ne babanywereza buli kika we kyali. Naye nga ekiri mu ekyo, olwokuba ffenna tusibuka mu musaayi gumu, obwo bwe butaka bwaffe. Omukulu w’ekika bw’owummula ng’omulala agenda mu maaso. Kwe kugamba, tewaalibaddewo buzibu singa eby’okutunda tebyajjamu. Nti ne bwe wandibadde katugeze ng’otunze, wandibadde otunze mu kika kyo. Nazzikuno, ng’osanga obutaka bw’ekika buliko bantu ba kika ekyo so si balala. Noolwekyo abakulu b’ebika, mu biraamo byabwe balina okubeera abeesimbu.

Ekibuuzo: Ne ku Kabaka wabeerawo ettaka erirye ng’omuntu n’eryobwakabaka?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Sir Daudi Chwa bwe yali tannakisa mukono, yakola ekiraamo kye. N’ayawula ettaka lya Daudi Chwa ng’omuntu n’erya Daudi Chwa nga Kabaka. Era yagamba nti lino ettaka ndyawudde lyange ng’omuntu, si ku lwa nga mu dda walibaawo alirigatta ku ly’Obwakabaka.
Weewaawo yawandiika Ssikweya mayiro 100, naye ziri 166.
Chwa yali mukulembeze mwesimbu era bye biraamo bye tuzze tugoberera. Ne Ssekabaka Muteesa naye yayawulamu ettaka era erirye n’aligabira abaana be. Ettaka ly’Obwakabaka teyaligaba era teyalikwatako.

Ekibuuzo: Ogambye akakiiko ku biraamo by’abakulu b’ekika kateereddwawo?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Nasabye abataka beekolemu omulimu, akakiiko ako akatunula mu kiraamo newankubadde kya kyama, twagala okumanya ennambika y’ebintu mu biraamo. Omukulu w’ekika ky’alamye, ky’ekiwa amaanyi amuddidde mu bigere.

Ekibuuzo: Naye kiki ekireese enkaayana mu bika?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Enkaayana ezisinga mu bika za byabugagga. Era bwe wabaawo aliko olutalo lw’awangudde, mu myezi esatu mumusanga aliko ky’atunze.Ate mulimu n’ababateekamu ssente basobole okuwangula.

Ekibuuzo: Nawulirako Oweekitiibwa ekirowoozo ky’okuteekawo ba ‘Trustees’ ng’omukulembeze w’ekika talina ky’ayinza kukola nga bammemba ba ‘Trustees’ tebakkiriza.
Owek. Kyewalabye: Ekyo Ssaabasajja Kabaka yakiragira dda. Okuggyako twasabye bongeremu akawaayiro nti buli kika ekiwandiisa ba ‘Trustees’ ku ttaka, ne Kabaka bamusibiremu babeere nga tebasobola kutunda ttaka nga Kabaka takitegeddeeko. Ssaabawolereza wa Buganda ali mu kukola ku nsonga eyo.

Ekibuuzo; Woofiisi yo etwala eby’obuwangwa, ekozeewo ki okugonjoola enkaayana mu bika?
Owek. Kyewalabye: Tubadde tubalaga ebiragiro bya Kabaka. Kye tusigazzaayo, kwe kumanyisa abazzukulu ekituufu. Twagala emisango gya Kisekwa nga gisaliddwa gimanyisibwe abazzukulu. Twala ekyokulabirako ky’omusango gw’ekika ky’Abembwa, Mutasingwa yagusinga naye gwe yasinga yalemera ffayiro! Twetaaga tutegeeze abantu ebivudde mu nsala. Kubanga abantu abasinga obungi tebategeera bikwata ku bika byabwe. Ekyokubiri, Kabaka mu kulambula obutaka bw’ebika, agenze ku butaka obumanyiddwa n’Omutaka amanyiddwa. Kabaka buli lw’alambula Essaza, alambula n’Obutaka bw’ekika. Kino kyongera amaanyi eri omukulu w’ekika.

PLAN B DETAILS: BOBI FOREIGN FUNDERS WANT HIM IN PARLIAMENT TO GET LOP JOB, EYES SSEGIRINYA’S KAWEMPE NORTH MP SEAT

ANY SWAP DEAL? Hon. Kyagulanyi and Mr. Update Ssegirinya

NEWS EDITOR
newseditor.info@gmail.com

SECURITY operatives have landed into a deal allegedly hatched between 2021 Presidential candidate Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi and his foreign funders to find his way into the 11th Parliament so that he enthrones himself the Leader of Opposition ( LOP) an office they badly want to use and destabilize President Museveni’s new term which is beginning next month!
Their calculation is simple, with Bobi seated in the office of the Leader of Opposition, getting a budget of about UGX 10 Billion from the State coffers, having immunity as LOP and other emoluments, they can perfectly use this office to hit President Museveni and finally unseat his 35 years old government.
Their game plan is, LOP office will give Bobi Wine accessibility to traverse the whole country starting as soon as possible and any attempt to arrest the Leader of Opposition will trigger off riots making Uganda un governable for Mr. Museveni, hence the intervention of foreign powers.
In fact during a two-day NUP retreat in Jinja, among the seven resolutions, according to Mr. Kyagulanyi, he is going to “Have a countrywide tour to connect with our leaders, thank Ugandans for their support, open party offices, and engage in other party activities across the country.”

NUP BOSS: Kyagulanyi addressing Party leaders during the Jinja retreat

This was in a retreat for NUP leaders (NEC, MPs, District Chairpersons & Mayors).
It was convened for NUP leaders to reflect on their party, the just concluded elections, and how they ought to operate as leaders. 
For those who didn’t know, Kyagulanyi plans of touring all parts of the country is intended to awaken up his supporters to fight for what he calls his ‘win’.
His foreign political architects want him to do this while he is the leader of opposition so that any attempt of arresting LOP will sound world over and of course foreign powers will respond.
We are exclusively told that, in one of the engagements foreign funders said that, four time Presidential contestant Dr. Kizza Besigye lost it because he had no official powerful political office when he commanded national riots and security organs would easily arrest him.
“In 2011 during walk to work riots, he had ceased being FDC party president. He was just a former Presidential candidate. This alone couldn’t give him immunity. So he was bartered until he gave up on the struggle.” One of Bobi foreign funders allegedly reasoned.
He allegedly advised that if there is a by election anywhere, Kyagulanyi should go for it and will massively win and officially becomes the Leader of opposition in Uganda. 

A PETITION AGAINST SSSEGIRINYA
When Sulaiman Sserwadda Kidandala filed an election petition against Kawempe North Constituency MP elect Muhammad Ssegirinya over submission of forged academic documents for nomination to the Electoral Commission, many saw this as an opportunity for Kyagulanyi to contest and win in the by election of Kawempe North MP.
After all, Kawempe North Constituency and Kyaddondo East Constituency where Kyagulanyi has been the area MP, are neighbours.
Kidandala’s petition reads, “The nomination papers of Ssegirinya Muhammad were void, he was not duly nominated for election as a directly elected Member of Parliament for Kawempe North Constituency and did not complete a minimum formal education of Advanced Level Standard or its equivalent.”
We are told, on noticing that Kidandala has petitioned court to annull Ssegirinya’s election, Mr. Update was summoned to NUP Party headquarters to throw more light about his academic documents which are being contested. 
Ssegirinya did not show up, instead went down town to demonstrate where he was arrested and thrown into Kitalya Government Prison before he was given bail after remand of three weeks.
What raises questions is, that morning when Ssegirinya was supposed to appear at NUP headquarters, he was seen being driven by a top party leader (names withheld) in his double-cabin pick-up around Kawempe.
What puzzles many is the motive behind this party boss not driving Ssegirinya to Party headquarters, but instead driving him down town where he was dropped.
Could it be about the alleged swap deal between Bobi and Ssegirinya that after the later realising that he has a bad case against Kidandala, now everything is being cooked up to handover seat to Kyagulanyi so that he appoints himself LOP like his foreign funders want it to be!
In fact this party official is the only person of a high rank at the Kamwokya based NUP Party who was allowed at Kitalya to visit Ssegirinya.
You don’t need to ask yourself why it’s Bobi’s aide Sauda Madada (nick name) not maama Naggirinya, who flew to Nairobi where the embattled MP elect is admitted.
She updates relatives about her patient’s status almost on daily basis.
(Details of Bobi-Ssegirinya deal, will be a story for another day).

BOBI SPEAKS OUT ON LOP DEAL
During a retreat in Jinja, Bobi Wine had no kind words against those who leaked the LOP deal. 
In a retreat where no journalist was allowed, a tough talking Kyagulanyi said, “Ugandans massively elected me as their president and you all know that we won. We are ready to fight for our victory. Please ignore rumours that i am targeting LOP office.”
One of the newly elected MPs (a female) stood up and confessed, “Mr. President, we share the same view with those asking you to join 11th Parliament and be our LOP. In fact we have engineered this talk.”
Kyagulanyi looked like he wasn’t interested in her talk.
He said, “Please stop it! I chose to contest for president not MP. You mean, all of you MPs here no one can be a LOP? That talk is intending to divert us from claiming our victory.”
However, Kyagulanyi did not allow deliberations about then who the LOP should be if he isn’t interested in the job.
What next? Wait for more details

‘KABAKA IS FOR US ALL, BUGANDA IS NOT SEGREGATIVE’, WRITES DR. ROBERT KIRONDE

0

Author: Dr. Kironde

OPINION

THE Great Kingdom of Buganda thrives on the principal of none segregation set by Nyatworo, the daughter of Labongo of the Gipil and Labongo fame.
Nyatworo is the mother of Rukidi Mpuga and Kato Kimera the first Bito Kings of Bunyoro and Buganda respectively.

GENESIS OF BUGANDA ON THE PRINCIPAL OF NONE SEGREGATION
Prince Kyomya from Bunyoro was exiled in the present day Acholi during the time of the great twins Gipil and Labongo. He fell in love with Nyatworo the daughter of Labongo. They had twins Rukidi Mpuuga and Kato Kimera under a Bito tree to become the first Bito soon after Kyomya lost his life.
After the death of Kyomya , Bunyoro lost the last Musiita King during a famine; a characteristic of Basiita. When it was announced that the king had been born the Banyoro were not interested in a king yet they were hungry. 
The Acholi gathered millet escorting their son Rukidi Mpuga to become the first Bito King of Bunyoro.
During the regime of Rukidi Mpuga, the mother Nyatworo noticed the following; The sibling rivalry between Rukidi Mpuuga and Kato Kimera

The segregation against herself and many a person who had escorted the young King because of the height and darker skin.
Nyatworo advised Rukidi Mpuga to give the subcounty of Muwawa to the brother Kato Kimera which he did.
Nyatworo moved to Muwawa with Kato Kimera and was the defacto leader despite the fact that the son was the King.
She ruled Muwawa on the principle of none segregation creating relative peace. Because of the peace and stability in Muwawa, groups of people started to migrate in bundles (Buganda) thus the saying Muwawa the land where the Buganda live in peace. Yes that is where the name comes from.
You will note that of the fifty two clans in Buganda, Nyatworo and Kato Kimera only found three clans of Bushmen. 
The 1. Mbwa
        2. Nkebuka
        3. Kikere
The rest of the clans are immigrants for example:

Nsenene from Ankole and Ngabi from Bunyoro
The above clans where actually from the Royal families of Ankole and Bunyoro that lost the succession wars in the respective Kingdoms.

IN this story, we bring you Moslems who have contributed whole heartedly towards Islam and the Muslim fraternity in Uganda, qualifying to be Muslim heroes though unsung.
In the first story, we shall extensively look at Dr. Edris Kasenene. 

EDRIS SERUGO KASENENE
He was born on 30th September, 1949 at Kibinda, Byakabanda Sub-county, Kooki County, Rakai District.
His father is the late Haji Rajabu Mukasa of the Ente (cow) clan, son of Sadiq Kasenene who  was the oldest of five sons of Mbajo who had settled and later buried at Bisanje Masaka. 
Sadiq Kasenene participated in religious battles between Christians and Muslims that ended at Kalagala in  Kabula, Lyantonde District. He later migrated to Kooki following his aunt who was the wife of the former Kamuswaga Kabumbuli II of Kooki Kingdom which later in 1868 became a traditional county of the 18 counties (Kamuswaga) of Buganda Kingdom.

SERVICE TO ISLAM & MUSLIM FRATERNITY 
HE is the founder of Kawempe Muslim Secondary School which was established with help of Uganda Government in 1984 as a special gift to Kawempe Muslim Primary School in appreciation of its excellent performance in both academic and co-curricular activities for over ten years since 1976 under the headship of Edris Serugo Kasenene, then Headmaster. 
In 1983, the UPC government came up with a policy of establishing a secondary school in every constituency in Uganda. By the end of that year, the policy was implemented and in 1984 four secondary schools were established in the four constituencies of Kampala namely; Kampala East, Kampala West, Kampala North and Kampala South. Strong UPC leaders would determine the locations of those secondary schools. Accordingly, Aggrey Awori located Luzira Church of Uganda Primary School to house the secondary school for Kampala East Constituency, Erisa Kironde located Kitebi Primary School to house the secondary school for Kampala West Constituency, Jaberi Bidandi Ssali located Kalinabiri Primary School to house the secondary school for Kampala North Constituency which included Kawempe area at that time and since Kampala south had no strong UPC guy, Mr. Olwata Omara the City Education Officer who was a staunch UPC guy and a Catholic, located Gaba Catholic Primary School to house the Secondary School for Kampala South Constituency. 
While interacting with the City Education Officer early in 1984, Edris Serugo Kasenene requested him to negotiate a fifth secondary school for Kawempe Muslim Primary School since the idea of starting a private one had failed. The Education Officer agreed with him and started the process of the acquisition of the school. On 24th February, the Education Officer Mr Olwata Omara came to school with good news that the government had accepted to establish another secondary school in the constituency at Kawempe Muslim School in honour of its continued good performance.
 That is how Kampala North Constituency got two government secondary schools at the same time. 
The first registration of this secondary school was Kawempe Secondary School omitting the word ‘Muslim’. 
Kasenene returned it to the Ministry of Education and Sports he demanded for the inclusion of the word Muslim arguing that if it was an appreciation for the good performance of Kawempe Muslim Primary School, the name of the Secondary School should tally with that of the primary school which was Kawempe Muslim Primary School. 
Mr. Tom Mugoya, the then Chief Inspector of Schools and his Assistant Mr. Vicent Obyero in charge of registration of secondary schools agreed with him to issue a new registration of the newly established government secondary school in the name of, ‘KAWEMPE MUSLIM SECONDARY SCHOOL’ as it is popularly known today. 
On 2nd March 1984, the school was inaugurated at Kawempe Muslim Primary School in its main hall by the then Provincial Educational Officer Mr. Steven Maloba assisted by Mr. Olwata Omara, the then City Education Officer.
Kasenene came up with a delegation that approached Juma Zukuuli Sect at Kyadondo Hill in the same area for a temporary accommodation of the newly established school which later became its permanent seat. 
Following the above information, some people refer to him as the Founder of Kawempe Muslim Secondary School.

AS A UMSC MEMBER OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND SECRETARY GENERAL
In May 1987, Haji Kasenene was elected Member of Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) General Assembly representing Rakai District for five years and in July, 1996 he was elected Acting Secretary General of UMSC until December 2000. 
In the following UMSC General Elections that were concluded in the same month, he was elected substantive UMSC Secretary General to serve a seven-year term ending in December, 2007. He was the first Secretary General since to formally hand over office since 1972 when UMSC was started. He  was again re-elected Member of UMSC General Assembly in May, 2013 during General Elections representing Central Region.

PROCESSING THE UMSC H’QUATERS OLD KAMPALA LAND TITLE
During his tenure as UMSC Secretary General, he worked on the acquisition of the land title of UMSC Headquarters at Old Kampala Hill. It should be noted that since 1972 when President  Idi Amin Dada donated 12 acres of land covering Old Kampala Hill to the the Muslims of Uganda to establish their headquarters; the subsequent UMSC leaders had to work on the acquisition of the land title to that effect. At the beginning of his tenure as Acting Secretary General of UMSC in July 1996, Haji Kasenene discovered that the land title had not been acquired. He accordingly approached Dr. Raphael Kamuhangire, the then Commissioner for Antiquities, Ministry of Trade and Tourism seeking acquisition of the land title. 
Dr. Kamuhangire showed him records indicating that Plot 1 Old Kampala hill had been gazeted as a Monument of Captain Lugard at the beginning of the last century and that it had to be degazeted to change its use for another purpose. 
He started the process and worked closely with the officials of that Ministry including Dr. Kamuhangire. Eventually in 1998 H. E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni wrote to the Minister of Lands directing that UMSC should be given a Land Title of 10 acres instead of 12 as originally stated. However, during process the Captain Lugard Monument and the Flag Spot which had been encircled by the mosque structure became obstacles to the title acquisition. 
To solve the problem, as the Secretary General of UMSC, he caused a meeting which sat at the venue that included the then ministers; Hon. Francis Ayume – Minister of Lands, Water and Minerals, Hon. Med Kaggwa – Minister of Presidency and Hon. Moses Ali – Minister of Trade and Tourism to discuss the issue of the monument. 
About the issue of the land title, Dr. Kasenene states;
“In that meeting it was resolved to relocate the monument and the flag spot on the same. The resolution was forwarded to the President who had sanctioned the acquisition of the land title by UMSC on that hill for consent. In his response, the President endorsed the relocation of the Captain Lugard House and the flag spot to the lower part of Old Kampala Hill in the two acres  to allow smooth construction of the National Mosque since a national mosque was more important than the monument.  In the same letter, the President said that the original architectural structure and bricks should be maintained during its relocation showing its originality. 
When it came to the question of who would relocate the Lugard House, the Ministry of Trade and Tourism demanded that UMSC should meet the cost of relocating that house and should show commitment to that effect to facilitate the acquisition of the title. After realizing that the relocation of Lugard House was going to be the obstacle of getting the title, the Secretary General wrote of commitment to that effect.
After that commitment, Ministry of Trade, and Tourism accepted to release the land and thereby issued a letter releasing that land to be degazeted for another usage as the law establishes. Short of that, UMSC would not get the land title for that land. 
When the Leader of Great Jamahiria of Libya accepted to complete the National Mosque, Haji Kasenene presented the commitment letter of relocating the Lugard House to the Libyan Engineers led by Dr. Muhammad Shukur. They commended his decision which paved way to get the land title and they immediately started the relocation construction work. The Lugard House was reconstructed keeping its originality as directed by the President and was duly handed over to the President’s Office even before the National Mosque was started”.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE NATIONAL
MOSQUE
In July 5th 2002, Dr. Kasenene as the Secretary General was among the five man delegation led by H E the Mufti of Uganda Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje which went to meet the Leader of Libya Col Muammar Gadhafi requesting him to complete the National Mosque which had stalled since 1974.  Other members included late Sheikh Ahamada Mukasa, Sheikh Habibu Kagimu and Prof. A. Mukwanason Hyuha. 
Dr. Kasenene says that;
“We were received by officials of World Muslim Call Society who later introduced us the next day to Col Muammar Gadhafi in his home city of Sirite. After some discussion with the Leader, he accepted to complete the National Mosque and sent us to meet his officials led by Dr Sharif in Tripoli for further discussions and modalities. In Tripoli, Dr Sharif told us that the Leader had designated a team of engineers led by Dr. Shukri who should come with us to assess the project which was under the hands of Concorp Company. It was agreed that vacant site should be handed over to the Libyan engineers from Muslim World Call Society. The Libyan engineers assessed the project and promised to come back to be handed over the vacant site. 
This meant that UMSC had to remove Concorp from the site. I led the removal of Concorp and requested Kiwagama Quantity Surveyers of the project to give UMSC a situational Report. I travelled to Nairobi to meet Govan Associates Actecture and Calbro Engineers of the same project to ask them to give UMSC relevant documents of that effect. Also, UMSC contracted Seka Associates and an independent Engineering Firm to assess the stalled project whether it could be continued. In November, 2002 the Mufti of Uganda H.E Sheikh Shaban Mubaje handed the project to the Libyan Engineers. Later, the Libyan Engineers discovered that the work done on the project was shoddy and thus it was condemned. It was removed and a new structure as it stands now was planned. The removal of the stalled structure was met with stiff resistance from a cross section of Muslims. However, Members of the UMSC management stood their ground and work of the new structure went ahead” Dr. Kasenene narrates.

UMSC GENERAL ELECTIONS OF 2020
As The Secretary General, Haji Kasenene played a pivotal role in mobilising all Muslims to participate in the UMSC General Elections of 2000 in which all Muslim groups participated, culminating into the election of Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje as the universally recognised Mufti of Uganda.

OWEK. Robert Waggwa Nsibirwa the 2nd Deputy Katikkiro of Buganda Kingdom officiated at a ceremony with Omuk. Simon Kabogoza the Buganda Land Board Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the site for the new hospital at Nakkule in Nansana Municipality, Wakiso District.
This hospital is going to be constructed by Rotarians to offer medical services to Kabaka’s subjects in response to a call by Buganda’s King, for all his people to live a healthy life.
The land on which this hospital is going to be built, was granted by Buganda Land Board (BLB), an organisation set up by His Majesty Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II to manage all Kingdom land and properties. 
The function was attend by other Kingdom officials, central government leadership and local leaders. 

When BLB chief Kabogoza signed an agreement to give away land to Rotary

A few days ago, Omuk. Kabogoza signed an agreement on behalf of Buganda Kingdom to give away land near Nansana BLB branch offices, where Rotarians are going to construct a hospital which will be at the level of Health Centre IV.

‘KABAKA NOT VERY ILL, IGNORE MAD PEOPLE SPREADING LIES ON SOCIAL MEDIA’, SAYS PREMIER MAYIGA

BUGANDA Kingdom has officially come out and cleared the air about the health status of His Majesty Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II that had worried millions of his subjects, world over.
The Kingdom has said, Kabaka is not seriously ill and he is fully in charge of his Kingdom, so people should calm down and ignore lies spread by the people Katikkiro referred to as mad.
“Kabaka is not very sick. That is why you saw him not walking by the help of a stick, not on a stretcher or lifted by any one. You all saw him walking by himself and greeted his subjects on Tuesday this week.” Said Buganda Premier Charles Peter Mayiga.
Addressing media today at the Kingdom Headquarters in Bulange-Mengo, in Uganda’s Capital Kampala, Katikkiro Mayiga has urged Kabaka’s people to take heart, the health status of Buganda’s supreme leader isn’t alarming like Buganda enemies want the world to believe.
Flanked by his Deputy Owek. Twaha Kawaasi, Kingdom Attorney General Christopher Bwanika and Information minister Noah Kiyimba, Premier Mayiga has said it’s true Kabaka life has complications but they are not that serious.

BUGANDA SUPREME LEADER: Kabaka Mutebi II

While reading a press statement, Mayiga said, “On Tuesday 13th April 2021, we celebrated Kabaka Mutebi’s 66 birth day to congratulate our King and pray that God gives him a long and happy life.”
Katikkiro noted that, those who graced the event at Lubiri-Mengo Palace and those who followed the event on television and social media may have noticed that Kabaka’s disposition was different from that his subjects and the general public are used to. 
“We all face challenges from time to time and they need to be effectively managed. In the Kabaka’s case, the challenges are related to allergies which when they attack sometimes cause him breathing difficulties especially when he has a mask or the shield over his face.” Said Mayiga.
He revealed that, “These allergies are sometimes caused by the food we eat or dust and other things. I however assure Kabaka’s subjects that these allergies are being managed appropriately by medical experts.:
“I dispel rumours that are doing rounds on social media platforms that the Kabaka was poisoned, these are baseless, totaly false and should be disregarded. Otherwise they will cause undue anxiety.” Said Katikkiro Mayiga.
He assured the people of Buganda and all Ugandans that the Kabaka’s condition is being managed with requisite expertise, “We hope and pray that the Kabaka will achieve full recovery very soon.”
Asked about Kabaka’s appearance in a supermarket on Thursday,  Katikkiro confessed that it’s true, Kabaka personally went to a Kampala supermarket for shopping.
“That was Kabaka yesterday. He personally wanted to pick certain items and he went to the supermarket. By the way, that wasn’t the first time for him to do this. When he wants personal things,  he goes to the supermarket and picks them.”
“Kabaka went and picked what he wanted and people saw him walking normally. I hope that can reassure you about his health. Yes he was affected by the allergies but he is going to be fine very soon.” Said Mayiga.
On why they allowed a sick Kabaka to attend his birthday fete, Mayiga said when Kabaka doesn’t appear to his subjects, Buganda enemies will say he (Katikkiro) has hidden him (Kabaka). And when he shows up, they say why bring a sick Kabaka.
Asked which kind of allergy is this that has taken long to heal because even his last appearance in January this year he looked sick, Owek. Mayiga said, “I am a lawyer. If you come to me and tell me your issues, I don’t spread them to other people. Same thing done by doctors. They are not supposed to reveal one’s medical problem to another person. Just know, doctors are doing every thing possible for our King to fully recover.”
On why he thinks public reacted harshly after seeing the condition in which Kabaka is, Owek. Mayiga said, “People view their Kabaka in a certain light, they see him doing physicals and road running etc, you can’t be surprised if they come out to ask about his health status.”
He revealed that, “The reaction is because Kabaka is one of the most popular figures in the country. He is a symbol of humanity, a symbol of civility and of course he is the custodian of the heritage of Buganda and he is not an ordinary person.”
“And when someone who is not ordinary is in that condition, people are going to get concerned. On one hand I am not totally surprised. The Kabaka is that important.” Said Mayiga. He however noted that, the only disappointment comes with the people who make baseless allegations especially on social media platforms. 
“And some people think what they post on social media is correct. That is why we are here to tell you the correct version and you should spread it so that the entire Kingdom, country and the world over, people settle down and resume their work.” Communicated Kingdom Prime minister.
He accused catalysts like one Fred Lumbuye who throng social media, looking for followers, hence irresponsibly spreading lies about issues they are totally ignorant about.
“If you go to a market and find a mad person, they are good at misinforming, they see things in a different way.” Said Mayiga branding the likes of Lumbuye (although he didnt mention any name), to be mad. 
On media allegations that he wants to resign, Katikkiro called them lies. 
He said, “I am here communicating to you as the Katikkiro. Is this a look-alike? This is me. I am here with Kabaka’s ministers.” Those alleging that Kabaka is not in control of Buganda, Mayiga asked, then who is in control? 
“When Kabaka appoints the Katikkiro and says go and assist me in the administration of the Kingdom, it’s Kabaka who appoints the Katikkiro. If he is not in control, how do they want him to be in control? Do they want him to be in Bulange every day to know that he is in control?” Asked Mayiga, adding, “That is how kings run their Kingdoms. They entrust that responsibility to Prime ministers and that is what I do. And everything I do, I do it with his authority. I am not leaving, I am here running the kingdom as instructed by Kabaka.” 
Asked how he feels when he is attacked on social media, a jolly Katikkiro said he has no time for mad people, he is ever busy on Kabaka’s assignments.
Referring to himself as a tree with fruits on which many birds fall, he asked media to always set records straight and educate those falsely attacking him. 
On taking Kabaka abroad for further medical attention, Katikkiro said, it’s only Kabaka’s doctors to refer him to hospitals abroad not idle people who aimless talk about things they don’t know.
“People seek for medication abroad after being refered by their dictors. Kabaka’s allergy doesn’t require him to be taken abroad.” Noted Owek. Mayiga.
He strongly warned those fundraising Kabaka’s health bills to stop it because there is no need.
“Who ever is doing that is just a self seeker. We advise Kabaka’s people not to respond to those calls to contribute any money for Kabaka’s health.” Said Katikkiro.

‘ENG. MAGOGO IS A SEED THAT TOOK ROOTS @ FUFA HOUSE, GREW AND NOW BEARING FRIUTS’, WRITES TOP UGANDAN JOURNALIST

0

OPINION: By Kungu Al-mahadi Adam

ISN’T it even strange to imagine that a renowned cultivator can be irritated and angered when the trees he planted bore good fruits? In my world as a farmer, it is well known that all cultivators during planting expect to have good fruits. They harvest them with utmost pleasure and praise for a dream come true.
This seems not to be the case for Uganda’s football. For a while now, I have come to realize that a few individuals in football circles either driven by self-seeking motives or sheer hypocrisy, pretend not to see the big ripened and juicy fruits our football tree has born.
Eng Moses Magogo is the seed that took roots to grow into a tree that is now bearing football fruits which have never been sighted in Uganda’s history.
Media has for days been dominated by all sorts of allegations ranging from lack of accountability to failing football in the country against Eng Moses Magogo and the Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA), something that is obviously expected at a time like this when nearing elections. 
But, it is not just now, the said individuals have always been up to task to cut down the tree midway its growth, but thank God, it beat all odds to mature into bearing fruits the country is currently enjoying.
When Eng Moses Magogo was first elected FUFA President in 2013 having served in different capacities in the Dr. Lawrence Mulindwa administration, he realized that it was an uphill task to have a fruit where there is no root and so, he embarked on firmly grounding the roots in form of building the institution of FUFA, seeking funding for football administration and activities, establishing national teams at different levels including women teams, etcetera.
Magogo took over football administration at the time when qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) had nearly become an abandoned dream. Surprisingly, even then, in the spirit of planting fruit bearing trees, he never promised AFCON as a measure of his success but as result of a systematic organisation of the game in the country. In fact, he promised that his target was to qualify for AFCON in 2019 but the roots he planted bore fruits earlier than expected in 2017.

FUFA PRESIDENT: A darling to our players

For starters, there were only 8 permanent employees of FUFA at the time Magogo assumed office. These did not even have a clearly defined job description. Today, the FUFA secretariat has more than 60 permanent employees divided into different departments including communication, refereeing, marketing, legal among others.
It is also a fact that in 2013, FUFA was run on only shs 4billion but now it operates on a budget of shs 40 billion courtesy of the capable marketing team Magogo established as well as product improvement that continue attracting sponsors.
Eng Magogo found only one national football team with that of  women playing once in a while but with no clear structure that brings in the players. As of now, there are nine national teams which participate in all national, continental and international competitions. In fact, the national beach football team recently qualified for AFCON for the first time. Magogo’s well calculated football organization has yielded very many fruits in football including qualifying twice for AFCON after nearly 40 years and a spectacular performance in the recently concluded AFCON U20 where Uganda lost to Ghana at the final. This was a dream for Uganda that needed to come out of a well developed strategy, which indeed, Magogo did. It only takes a hypocrite or a self-seeking individual to overlook these achievements.
The claims that money is stolen are not only fashionable and laughable, but also surprising. People advancing it think that Ugandans are so gullible to an extent that they consume every ‘trash’ disseminated to them. Why? I don’t think Eng Moses Magogo or anyone at FUFA is above the law, why not sue him or them in the courts of law instead of talking with anger, jealous and bias from one year to another with no progress. Allegations without evidence is hearsay (lugambo).

THE WRITER: Kungu Al-mahadi Adam

In my opinion, FUFA ought to continuously explain to the public about the progress they make. FUFA should stop assuming that people see everything they do. Yes they may see some, but there are many latent advances which if not explained, the self-seekers may make advantage of them and mislead the public. As a farmer, I know that most fruits, if left alone on a tree, eventually ripen and decay if they are not harvested.
Look, if Eng Moses Magogo is a problem, why not defeat him in elections? I have seen many people claiming that the current leadership manipulates prerequisites in the electoral code to lock out possible contenders for leadership positions in FUFA, something that is far from the truth since this code was passed in 2012 when Magogo was not the president.
The prerequisites are explicit and whoever is interested in the position (s) should come out. As a person who loves and follows Uganda’s football, I haven’t seen Eng Moses Magogo or any one in FUFA blocking whoever is interested in vying for any position in FUFA. Such people should desist from the smear campaign and blackmail but instead offer themselves and let the electorate decide.
Meanwhile, like no farmer will let seeds that with germinate into a tree that bears fruits off his hands, no lover of Uganda’s football would wish to let go Eng Moses Magogo especially at a time like this when our football is at its peak.

PAUL MUKATABALA: FORMER SC VILLA & CRANES INTERNATIONAL ON WHY FOOTBALLERS MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR PERFORMANCE ON THE PITCH

0

OPINION 

I AM proud to have played football in an era where we players were held accountable for our performances in a match. And at a club level like my former  club SC Villa, the late club Supremo, ‘Chief’ Patrick Kawooya(RIP) wasted no time in ripping through anyone of us, when he felt we were letting our standards drop.

In September 1994 I was part of the Uganda Cranes side that got beaten 4-0 in Dar es salaam in the opening rounds of the AFCON 1996 Qualifiers.
And anyone who was old enough back then, can detail for others the roasting we received upon return back home. The Federation, the Press, the fans all really roasted us.There was simply no where to hide. And we’re talking about a period in Ugandan football which used to draw massive interest and crowds everywhere u turned. There was no pettiness of players being disrespected and those of us who were in Tanzania understood we had let down our nation massively. It led to the break up of that squad and the emergence of new talents such as Goalkeeper Abu Kigenyi, Joseph Mutyaba, Friday Ssenyonjo(RIP) etc. While seniors like Wassa Sadiq , Charles Temaligwe etc, called it quits, but in a positive way without holding any grudges against anyone, for they understood only too well the standards expected of a national team player. Today, things looks to be different!
When the FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo says what many only know too well, that our CHAN team simply did not perform at the Cameroon tourney, then it’s shouts of, “oooh he’s disrespecting players.”

The Cranes

When the Nigerian FA President Amaju Pinnick lay into and read the ‘riot act’ to the Super Eagles in the dressing room on 13th November 2020, after they let a 4-0 lead melt away to draw 4-4 with Sierra Leone in an AFCON  2021 Qualifier, there was  none of “the senior Super Eagles players have threatened to boycott the national team.” And, “none of the FA President is disrespecting his players.” Today Nigeria will be playing at next year’s AFCON Finals Tournament after the players raised their standards. While for Uganda Cranes that’s now  full of pettiness, self entitlement and a false imagination by #some players that they’re actually doing Ugandans and the FA a favour when they turn up to play for the Uganda Cranes(with comments of “ate banakolaki, bajja kutwetaaga neera”),  we will only be watching the Tournament from our tellies, come Jan/Feb next year. 
Contrast that with Burkina Faso who while here to face Uganda in a decisive Qualifier game on 24th March 2021, were a picture of concentration, focus, unity and professionalism. Anyone who had a chance to see or interact with the Burkinabes at their Speke Resort Hotel in Munyonyo will understand only too well what I’m talking about. While for Uganda, some players were instead, the next day after the goalless draw with Burkina Faso, putting pressure on the coach to allow them go out of camp to visit their families. 
In the Malawi game of such enormous proportions, where was the urgency, the focus, the concentration, the tenacity and the desire to get a result at all costs??
