BUGANDA’S WELCOME

We first of all want to thank God for the good He has done for us and console all those who have encountered problems in the past.

We greatly thank Buganda for showing us such great joy during the 16th coronation anniversary since the installation of the kingdom.

Buganda has spent more than 300 years welcoming people to prosper as a nation and by the mid 19th century, Buganda was the most powerful kingdom in central Africa.

To date, Buganda is still welcoming people. But we would not like the people Buganda has welcomed to create and build their own nations here in Buganda. Buganda’s boundaries are well outlined in Uganda’s constitution.

Therefore, it is very painful to the Baganda if other kingdoms are formed in Buganda. We beg that the welcome we extend to everyone should not be abused.

RETURN MORE EBYAFFE

In these 16 years, there are some things the government has returned to Buganda, and for that we are very grateful; and there are many others that haven’t yet been returned.

There is land at the counties and sub-counties headquarters in the whole of Buganda and buildings that haven’t been returned.

Right now there are Baganda nomads because they don’t have land yet the land that was returned to us by the colonialists in 1962 and later grabbed in 1967 is yet to be returned. The Baganda want the land that was forcefully grabbed returned to Buganda.

STOP THE LAND KILLINGS

There is another thing that is worrying us here in Buganda. Every other day people are killed over land wrangles, particularly between landlords and tenants.

There was a time here when mailo land owners lived in harmony with the tenants on that land.  We pray that that harmony and peaceful co-existence returns. Blood should not be shed because of land; if in the past there was peaceful co-existence, then it is also possible now.

Now there is no harmony between the land owners and the tenants; none of them can use the land, they are both in fear. A solution to this must be found so that peace returns to Buganda.

God bless you.

According to the email, the land in dispute is about 300 acres big and is owned by daughter of a former Buganda minister of finance (Omuwanika), Amos Kalule Sempa. Her names are Nakitto Sempa, her brother Rodnie Sempa and and other siblings who live in the United Kingdom. The villagers who live on the land are insist that Ms. Sempa and her brothers have never sold their land but some one in Kampala is manipulating the title that some wealthy Banyankore want can add it to their vast land grabs on Masaka Road. The villagers urgently want Ms. Nakitto and her siblings to do what their father would have done.  Defend their property and Buganda from being destroyed by arrogant Banyankore.

The email includes some strong political allegations: “The St. Lawrence schools which most people think as owned by Mukiibi are in fact property of wealth Balaalo who rule Uganda. Mukiibi is only a partner/manager and he does not even control how many Banyankore and Banyarwanda children are admitted. He is not even told when stolen O-Level and A-Level exam answers are shown to Balaalo children to help cheat in exams. Now they need a university to add to Mukiibi’s schools on Masaka Road because although they own Kampala International University, it is not secure for Balaalo and Banyarwanda children in case of and uprising.”

If you know Ms. Nakitto Sempa or anyone of her siblings, relatives or friends in the United Kindgom please draw her attention to this story. She can also contact this writer at info@bugandapost.com.
