SSAABASAJJA KABAKA’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

We thank God for having led us successfully through the year 2009 which has not been an easy one for almost very one of us.

We extend our sincere sympathies to all those people who witnessed various challenges during the course of the year.

We however congratulate all Christians around the world for having reached this day of Christmas.

At the same time, we wish all our people a peaceful ending of the year 2009 and entering the New Year with great courage and strength.

The experiences in the past year should act as a symbol to our people that we still have a long way in building a strong Buganda and Uganda as a whole.

Our leaders, right from the village levels still have a very huge task in fighting evil acts that are slowly infiltrating through our people at a very high speed which include among others corruption, murder, hatred towards working, to much interest for outings, isolating one another and being selfish.

At the moment, almost 95% of the youths in this country are unemployed. We should stop blaming them and instead task our leaders to draw a lasting solution to this level of unemployment. There should be ways of how these youths can be assisted to either obtain jobs or helped to use their brains to become beneficial to this country.

We have closed this year with Buganda Conference which was held last week under the theme “Federalism for Uganda”. We hope that the resolutions of this conference will form a strong basis for the negotiations and consultations to come later as we look forward to a democratic leadership for our country

Good bless

Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II
Kabaka of Buganda.
