It is unusual among Baganda,even in the diaspora, to celebrate and have a cake in memory of death and suffering such as at the May Buganda Day of occupation. The leaders of Ggwanga Mujje Washington DC and the Kabaka’s representative in the area went ahead and did it anyway tighter with a big fashion show and disco (see”Kabaka’s Representative Turns Buganda Day Into NRM Party, Ekiba Kibe”). This upset quite a few people, including one long-term NRM woman, who wrote to Buganda Post to alert us about NRM operation in the diaspora.
Our source told us she was especially upset that Kabaka’s representative approved the removal of the Kabaka title and lion from the Buganda cake, not to upset Museveni. She said: “These people intentionally removed the lion, which is the symbol of the Kabaka, off the cake. Even worse, they changed the writing on the cake to be ‘Awangaale Nnyaffe Buganda’. This is not by accident. The Omulangira approved replacing ‘Kabaka’ with ‘Buganda’ even though it reads funny because Buganda is not a person. It is all part of a plan that the NRM’s diaspora team is playing out to make the Kabaka a non-issue. I don’t know what to do but as a Muganda I am having a lot of conflict.”
We can report that a diaspora based team of NRMs are working in a lose think-tank that brainstorms about how to help president Museveni weaken all Baganda organizations overseas. A highly reliable source inside NRM USA has told us that: “In 2008 president Museveni realized that the cadres in New York, Washington DC, London and Toronto are much better equipped than Kampala NRMs to plan and execute anti-Buganda actions in the diaspora. With advice from the likes of Abdul Kimbugwe and others (names omitted to protect our sources), the NRM started investing cash in Boston, Washington DC, New York and Los Angeles to buy Baganda youths in the NRM. They bribe the leaders with cash or government contracts, give them general guides, and allow them to operate independently.”
“One important target is to make Baganda youth lose interest in the Kabaka institution and see Kabaka Mutebi as politically ambitious. For example, one propaganda story that is supposed to be planted in Washington DC and Los Angeles claims that Kabaka Mutebi wants to replace Museveni and become president as his late father was. The Washington DC chapter of Ggwanga Mujje is now considered key to the NRM plans because the leadership are willing to work closely with the ambassador and other NRMs.”

Naaye sebo totuwalampa most people rein on others’ success. We put up a very successful Buganda day annually now you are looking for stains to ruin the whole occation.Sebo totuwalampa tukwegayiridde ye ani yakuyita okuba engalabi gyotamanyi nakko? It’s sad when peoples’ insecurity leads to lousy untrue, even UN heard of accusations? If you are threatened by NRM, you are then attacking the wrong community because DC GWANGA MUJJE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH UGANDAN POLITICS, so bambi twesonyiwe and stop telling these stupid lies. I’m just a DC resident that is very pissed at you not being able to deliver real news but lies. You want to be a journalist so bad that you would lie almost about anything or are trying to file for asylum and you think this is your passport? Bambi stop telling lies. The DC community will always be united. Outcasts like you will never diverse us.NRM or NOT we are UGANDANS and we unite so well here in DC, one thing you guys lack.

Shame on Baganda in USA.
The non baganda and the white people are laughing at us fo rbeing divided in such difficult times.
Th eproblem with diaporains is that you bring your personal vendettas, wife and galfreinds snatching wars and gossip into the buganda/Uganda politics.
Shame on you USA Baganda. Leave politics out of this. M7 himself says culture and politics do not mix. NRM wait for elections. Gwanga mujje wait for Tabamirukka as one Baganda tribe. Non baganda and wellwishers can come and support us as Ugandans.
Tukooye enkwe zabaganda. Abaganda mulina nyoo enkwe era mwe mwqawaayo Sekabaka fredrick mu basajja abamutusaako obulaabe. Stop the hypocriscy. Abaganda UNITE as One.
