P.s: Just a word of counselling to the good man of God,the “true” Reverend Nakabaale Kaasa. There are a couple of things you mentioned in your last posting which you should have kept to yourself. For example, you did not have to proclaim to the whole world that you are jobless out there in Manchester – Boston! What was the import of this piece of information to the public on this forum??! Were you seeking cheap sympathy or just to confirm to us that the reason some of guys are readily giving yourselves into the yawning crockdile’s jaws (Read M7) is because you are jobless???

Incidentally, do readers also notice the fact that the “genuine” Rev. Nakabaale and the “fake” Rev. Nakabaale are attacking FDC’s Joe Magandazi with the same ferocity?? How about the similar application of insults towards Joe Magandazi by both the “genuine” and “fake” Nakabaales? Have you also carefully noticed the linguistic competence deficit in the usage of English by both the “genuine” and “fake” Rev. Nakabaale Kaasa??? I am really tempted to think that this is honestly cheap Katemba and I should be more than surprised if the Chapter in Boston weathers the current disorganization storm in its midst. To you the “genuine” Rev. Nakabaale, we are anxiously awaiting the posting of the whole record of what transpired in the Chapter’s Sunday Meeting you chaired!

May God bless you and all those who guinely have our motherland Buganda at heart!

Thank you for your insights about the problems in your executive. We feel sorry for all you are going through and we shall make it a point to attend the Sunday meeting.

One caution, again this might be a slip of a tongue. It does not matter whether Mr. Busagwa Ali is a Catholic or Moslem or Protestant. I read carefully what he wrote, there was nothing to suggest that he feels “more Catholic than the Pope.” So let us get religion out of this issue. Let us discuss the issues at hand whether we are believers in our Traditional Religion or Islam or Catholic faith or Orthodox faith or Protestant faith or Atheist or Agnostic.

Ssabasajja Kabaka awangaale ne Nnabagereka agerekere Obuganda.

Thanks for your clarification of some issues about the connection some members of your executive have with NRM. However, I would like to make one remark.

As a man of God, you should desist from using abusive and insulting words. If you, a man of God use such a language, what do you expect we your flock to do? Ffe abazaanabo otusuubidde kweyisa tutya? Don’t you know a Luganda proverb, “Ennyonnyi enkulu yeyigiriza ento okubuuka” meaning “it is the elder bird that teaches the young ones to fly.” In fact, you have reminded me of a leader in Uganda who is fond of using abusive words. For instance, he referred to past Ugandan leaders as “swines”. But when this same leader was abused, he unleashed his soldiers to kidnap, torture and incarcerate the suspected culpits. James 3:1-12, reminds us of the proper use of our tongue.

Ssabasajja Kabaka awangaale ne Nnabagereka agerekere Obuganda.

Your attempted defense of Messrs Bukenya and Kalemba kindly refers.

First of all, I wish to extend my warm and heartfelt salutations to you in the name our Lord and in the name of our mighty Nation Buganda! Awangaale nnyo ai Ssabasajja Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi II!

Once again, thank you so much for the very insightful rebuttal you made in defense of Messrs. Bukenya and Kalemba who are increasingly being seen as sell-outs by our fellow Baganda particularly those in Boston-Massachusetts and the Greater Diaspora at large.

Having carefully read your rejoinder to P.Nakato’s posting of October 31 wherein she blew the whistle on some vile scheming against the November 09 Tabamiruka Meeting engineered by a cabal of the dictator M7’s apologists and sycophants in Uganda and readily finding apparently opportunistic implementers in some of the Gwangamujje Executive members ala Bukenya and Kalemba, I must say with an almost certainty that your ‘fuming’ rejoinder totally uncharacteristic of a “servant of God” as well as devoid of humility and candor typical of a Chair/President of any credible organization such as the Gwangamujje provides without a doubt more questions than answers.

While both you and I agree that Omulongo P. Nakato is essentially a journalist by trade, and, therefore, whose primary duty to her avid readers is to simply be an objective medium of ‘news items’ on various topical and non-topical subjects regarding matters of Buganda for the benefit of her readers’ wellbeing, I am totally incensed that you can start your defense of a person or group of persons standing in the clear midst of the High Court of the Baganda public opinion with an already tailor-made verdict in respect of the information Nakato conveyed as being “baseless rumors and attacks”. As a man of letters (I presume!), of a great celestial spirit (as a revered man of God!) and ultimately the president/chair of an otherwise credible Gwangamujje Boston Chapter, I would naturally have expected that you always exercise great restraint in words as well as examine your actions before you go up the higher mountain of self-judgment. I guess it would serve you and all of us better if you always kept a civil tongue in your head.

I have also carefully but sadly noted your almost instantaneous usage of offensive slurs such as “stupid”, “hopeless”, “nonsensical”, “naïve”, “baloney” “… need a mental check”, et.al. in your sterile and austere attempt to ridicule Nakato, myself and all those who think that the Boston Chapter ought to be run in the sole interest of the Buganda Nation and not in the interest of Museveni’s Uganda. Still in here, you have apparently failed the test of a responsible leader, and I not surprised that the observation of your leadership character by P. Nakato couldn’t have been any more different as she wrote: “All evidence so far is that Reverend Nakabaale and a few others on his Executive may be committed to the Buganda cause but they simply don’t have the experience and organizational skills to fight off the NRM” How instructive!!!

Nakato’s timely beacon about the lackadaisical manner in which Gwangamujje Boston – Chapter handles Buganda affairs could not have found any more resonance than in your own words thus: “ Therefore for those of who wish to know how we run your affairs please come to our meetings” and “… try to get the minutes for our last meeting”, “…sorry, but just show up on Sunday…” Oh, really??? Did you, Reverend Nakabaale, seriously think about these statements before you wrote them??! Were these statements meant for the consumption of only the Baganda residing in Boston or even for those who are as far as Okinawa – Japan but are closely following up on the issues of Buganda via such Baganda /Buganda organization as Gwangamujje??? In my own humble opinion, I would have thought that a publicly-run organization such as Gwangamujje would have been in a position to disseminate the minutes to all its official meetings via the Gwangamujje website for the benefit of all of us spread well over across the Great Diaspora and those living in Uganda. But for you to expect that all Baganda must regularly travel/fly to Boston for your Chapter’s meetings in order to get first-hand information and/or pick up minutes on what has been resolved and so on and so forth is the most incredible presumption to have come out of a leader living in this electronic age of our 21st Century!!!

I personally do not know much about Magandazi and his FDC efforts. Nonetheless, I would find it absolutely strange that you the Chair of Gwangamujje Boston Chapter can find space in the heart of your hearts to criticize the FDC’s Magandazi as having assumed the position of a “political commissar” for the Gwangamujje Boston Chapter merely on account of his being an FDC activist but nonetheless a concerned Muganda who is as well troubled with how you guys are handling the affairs of the Gwangamujje and fail to find fault with Bukenya’s holding of both the position of Vice Chair Gwangamujje Boston Chapter as well as being one of the cardinal organizers of the upcoming UNAA Convention. Reverend Nakabaale, is it news to you that UNAA is in the pockets of M7 and that M7 has bankrolled almost every Muganda in UNAA to disorganize all the Baganda organizations both here in the Diaspora as well as back home in Uganda??

Whereas you acknowledge in your opening remarks that you have been keeping a keen watch over the Bugandapost’s articles and its contributors “…for the last couple of months or so…”, and, therefore, should be in a better position to know the site’s strength in the manner and content of conveying unbiased and credible e-news in its efforts to promote the causes of Buganda Kingdom, I am utterly shocked that a whole Chair of a Gwangamujje Chapter should be asking such questions as “… is this really a [sic.] independent source for Buganda news or just a hopeless nonsensical agent?” Reverend, you are even wondering of what P. Nakato does when you write thus “Nakato, I don’t know what you do for work”???!!!! Honestly speaking, any serious visitor of the http://www.bugandapost.com site even for the very first time should be able to read the number of postings each of the editors has so far made and I am utterly baffled that you should have skipped this! How amazing, huh??!!
Now folks, listen to the biggest one coming out of Reverend Nakabaale, the Chair of Gwangamujje Boston Chapter: “ I agree with my Vice Chair, of course [we have] policy differences on how [we] should run forward…”. Come again, Reverend? You guys have POLICY differences with M7’s secret agents on the Gwangamujje Boston Chapter vide Messrs Kalemba and Bukenya on the way you ought to run the Chapter and you are content that the Chapter is up to the mark in respect of the Buganda cause?? Give us an honest break, Rev.!!! If you didn’t know Mr. Chairman, let me humbly inform you that the moment executive members of any organization or government or otherwise have any POLICY DIFFERENCES, they have no business being together. And herein lies the source of suspicion brought forth through Nakato’s article of both men being in the evil boots with M7 against Buganda’s aspirations when both Kalemba and Bukenya had to successfully bully you and the rest of your Executive to change the dates for the Gwangamujje Convention so these can coincide with those of M7’s UNAA!

Reverend, you called me naïve but I leave it to the readers of this site to make their own judgment between you on the one hand and me Busagwa, Nakato and Magandazi et.al on the other hand in respect of any serious individual expecting Kalemba/Bukenya who are active members of M7’s UNAA National Committee to be committed promoters of the Buganda cause under the auspices of Gwangamujje Boston – Chapter??!! I certainly cannot be that naïve, Reverend Nakabaale!!

Reverend Nakabaale does the following manner of intimidating your critics ring a bell: “…we have [the] right forum in which to discuss our issues…”?? Sounds familiar to me, obviously by an NRM-O cadre, huh???
Reverend Nakabaale, I guess you are making a big time mistake by calling people like P. Nakato and I gossipers and hard-up! You really must be a real joker! I literally touch base with the Atlantic shores that side of your abode at least six times a year and you insinuate that I can indulge in gossip and idle talk? Get serious, Reverend Nakabaale!!

Reverend, you carry a very big and honorable title of our Christian faith. I would, therefore, humbly appeal to you that whatever you do and/or say should always reflect the principles of uprightness and humility as taught and exemplified by our Lord Christ.

Finally, after having evaluated your earlier communication to which I am making this rejoinder, I have found it rather wanting in quality presentation, something which confirms Nakato’s observations of a rather disorganized Gwangamujje Boston Chapter as she writes thus: “ All evidence so far is that Reverend Nakabaale and a few others on his Executive may be committed to the Buganda cause but they simply don’t have the experience and organizational skills to fight off the NRM” Rev, I guess you can do better next time!

I otherwise applaud the good side of your genuine efforts in the promotion of the Buganda cause. Just fix those problems you guys have in the Chapter’s organization and avoid any situations which are bound to put you guys under a cloud amongst the majority of the Baganda here in Diaspora and possibly those back home in Uganda.

Awangaale nnyo ayi Ssabasajja Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi II!!

First of all, I would like to thank you so much for the painstaking effort you made and time you took out from your apparently heavy pastoral duties in Boston to help the readers on this forum by providing us with the more nitty gritties of the problems afflicting the smooth running of the Gwangamujje Boston Chapter.

While I am still internalizing line per line your most interesting if indeed not a bizzare posting in your hollow attempts to defend Bukenya’s and Kalemba’s vile schemes against the upcoming Gwangamujje conference for a detailed rejoinder to this façade of defense, I can undoubtedly assure you that I couldn’t have gotten any better source of evidence for the apparent treachery of the Buganda cause by some of you, including yourself, in running the affairs of the Gwangamujje Boston Chapter in such a lackdaisical manner. I will certainly keep you posted on a detailed reponse from my side to your erstwhile rejoinder ASAP!
