From the time Buganda rejected Mr. Museveni’s plan to introduce the Regional Tier system and an elected Katikkiro in the kingdom, the Ugandan president has orchestrated a multi pronged “scorched earth” campaign to destroy Buganda. The writing is on the wall for all with eyes to see.
First, Mr. Museveni is reported to have invested millions of United States dollars in getting rid of Katikkiro Muliika, mostly in bribes to current and former Mmengo officials and a few clan leaders to undermine Muliika. Then he opened the Land Act amendment onslaught, combined with the ferrying of thousands of armed Balaalo and foreigners onto Buganda’s native public lands (9,000 square miles).
