On November 26, 2009, Museveni’s Langi  minister of Lands, Omara Atubo, told a symposium on decentralization, women land rights and citizenship in Kampala, that: “His highness the Kabaka stopped being the Ssabataka when he was given the 360 square miles by the British.”  Milton Obote’s kinsman did not explain to the meaning what the word “Ssabataka” means.

Omara Atubo is Museveni’s current point man in the NRM campaign to put the control of the majority of Buganda land in the hands of Banyankore, Banyarwanda, Bakiga and other foreigners. In private, like Milton Obote and Yoweri Museveni, Omara Atubo is known to passionately despise Baganda. According to a reliable source: “Omara Atubo has only UPC blood in his and veins the idea of working for a Munyarwanda, Museveni. However, because he hates Baganda so much, he is willing to work with devil to destroy the Kabaka.”

What our source told us is consistent with another statement that Atubo made on Novermber 26, 2009. He said:  “In 1992 it [restoration of kingdoms] was debated and I warned the government about the restoration of the monarchies. What would be the role of the cultural leaders if they were restored?”  He then claimed that problems relating to the political aspirations of Baganda shall be resolved by the Regional Tier law which will be passed soon.
