Two weeks ago, Museveni told a meeting of what he calls Uganda’s kings and cultural leaders that the NRM government had agreed to move hundreds of Balaalo from Bunyoro to “another area”. The meeting was in Masindi, Bunyoro, We have been informed by a source in the Uganda ministry of lands that the area where [...]

A New Jersey Muganda resident and United States citizen sent us an email on November 4, 2009, proposing a pledge of allegiance for Baganda all over world. The email says: “No question about it, the Kabaka and his subjects in Buganda are in captivity today. Buganda is in a constant state of emergency. Since [...]

Reliable sources in both Mmengo and the NRM occupation government have confirmed to us that the Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II, will meet Uganda warlord, Yoweri Museveni, on Wednesday, September 30, 2009. A senior Buganda official assured us that the Kabaka did not agree to see Museveni as such but simply responded to [...]

When, on September 16, 2009, Museveni invited all Buganda MPs to a Thursday meeting to discuss the impasse regarding Kabaka’s visit to Kayunga, he was considering denying opposition to the visit (see “Museveni May Blame Police and Minister For Bugerere Violence“).   By the time the meeting took place, Museveni had decided to confront the Kabaka [...]

This is my last column on Buganda Post for the foreseeable future and it is dedicated to one of the few Baganda politicians who have the capacity to see beyond the “village chief” political system that President Museveni created in Uganda. It is Beti Namisango Kamya, the woman who threw a spanner in the Banyankore/Bakiga/Banyarwanda conspiracy to marginalize Baganda and make Kabaka and his subjects beggars in their own homeland. More on Beti later.

It is always very difficult to say goodbye to the ones you love. Even more so when the reasons for leaving a totally out of your control. It is against that background that this columnist must tell you that this will be her last posting for the foreseeable future.

It now appears that Uganda’s president Museveni and a few of his richest top government officials have lost touch with the reality, the biting poverty which Baganda and the rest of the Uganda population are suffering. Over the last two weeks Mr. Museveni and his Central Bank governor, Tumusiime Mutebire arrogantly bragged about how well Uganda is doing economically. They made these statements even as the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBS) and Museveni’s ministry of Disaster Preparedness issued official reports which pointed to a miserable economic and social situation. The UBS supplies statistical data to Bank of Uganda.

Last weekend, Lubaga North MP did what no other Muganda politician has ever done in the history of Uganda. She told her political party, Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) and the rest of Uganda, in no uncertain terms, that she would put Buganda’s interests before those of FDC if the two conflicted. She did it publicly and in writing, through a press release (see Beti Kamya: Baganda Must Put Buganda First and Vote As a Block). And, curiously, it very much looks like Beti may be acting on the resolutions that were passed by Ttabamiruka ’09, the Baganda international conference which she attended in August this year.
