Yesterday, we published a copy of the press release that Kabaka’s representatives in North America issued on July 23,  2010, in connection within UNAA (see “Kabaka’s Representatives Send Intriguing Press Release On UNAA”). The representatives said that they had received an “official communication from the Buganda Kingdom Administration”, but never indicated if it was the Kabaka, the Katikkiro or another person in the Buganda Kingdom  who sent it to them.   Surprisingly, only a few hours later, the Chairman of NRM backed UNAA, Moses Wilson, issued his own press release thanking the Kabaka’s representatives for their press release. 

Since Wednesday, our sources in Boston, Washington DC and California were reporting  to us ongoing conference calls and arguments between Kabaka’s representatives, UNAA organizers and certain political activists about the Katikkiro’s letter of July 20, 2010. In fact, it appears as if  the press release by the Kabaka’s representatives intentionally avoided mentioning Katikkiro as a compromise with certain political interests. The very quick and thankful from Mr. Wilson only served to raise more questions about the loyalty of Kabaka’s representatives to Kabaka and Buganda.  One question is why Mr. Wilson, who saw the Katikkiro’s letter on Wednesday is pretending that it is the Kabaka representatives are the ones who clarified Buganda’s position.  Another question is whether Moses Wilson and Fred Kalema-Musoke sincerely believe that Buganda would not be participating in UNAA as stated in the Katikkiro’s letter, even if the current occupant of the Nnabagereka institution attends.

Some of these and other questions were also raised by Mr. Robert Kabuye on his www.EkibaKibe.com 1:30 PM radio program (July 25, 2010).  One question is, why the representatives did not report the Katikkiro’s message for 3 days. Robert Kabuye complained directly to the Katikkiro, asking: “Ababaka bakikirira ani?” (“Who do the Kabaka’s representatives represent?”). He explained that the representatives were elected by Baganda in their individual areas but they are now serving themselves, even censoring Katikkiro messages to us. According to Mr. Kabuye, many of his www.EkibaKibe.com listeners also want the Buganda Government delegation to come to Ttabamiruka ’10 prepared to explain the purpose of Kabaka’s representatives and why some behaving rebelliously. He added that the theme his radio for the whole of next week will be the Kabaka’s representatives and who they serve.

Subject: [UNAANET] Nnabagereka to present UNAA Key Note Speech

 Community Members,

I would like to express my appreciate to Ssabasajja Kabaka’s
Representatives in the US and Canada for their recent clarification of the
position of the Government of Buganda relative to the upcoming UNAA
convention in Washington, DC. Some confusion had arisen as to exactly who
from the Kingdom was going to the UNAA convention in Washington, DC, and
who was going to the Ttabamiruka Convention in New Jersey.

In their official communication, the Kabaka’s Representatives very clearly
stated that the Government of Buganda was not sending representatives or
participating in the UNAA convention due to various ongoing issues in the
Kingdom.

However, the UNAA Board of Directors is pleased to announce that it has
received confirmation that HRH Sylvia Nnaginda, Nnabagereka of Buganda,
will lead a delegation comprised of representatives from the Uganda Cancer
Research Foundation and the Nnabagereka Development Foundation to the UNAA
Convention in Washington, DC, where she will deliver the Key Note Speech.

Convention and Hotel Registration information can be found on the official
UNAA website (www.unaa.org)

Sincerely,

Moses R. Wilson
President (2009-2011)
Ugandan North American Association

On July 23, 2010 we received a copy of the press release came from Kabaka’s representatives in North America. We have confirmed that it is genuine. The representatives refer to a communication from “the Buganda Kingdom Administration” without making it clear if it is Katikkiro or Kabaka they are talking about.  It does not say if the communication was by phone, email or letter. However, our sources with deep knowledge of Mmengo has assured us that, if the representatives were talking about the Buganda Government, then all official communication must be in writing and signed by the Katikkiro or other authorized official.

Interestingly enough, the Kabaka’s representative to Washington DC and UNAA promoter, Fred Kalema-Musoke did not sign the press release. We have not yet been able to establish if was not available to do so or if he was simply rejecting the position of the “Buganda Kingdom Administration” (Kabaka, Katikkiro or both). Another point of possible confusion is that the press release was sent out on Jul 23, 2010 but it is dated July 24, 2010.

It is unusual among Baganda,even in the diaspora, to celebrate and have a cake in memory of death and suffering such as at the May Buganda Day of occupation.  The leaders of Ggwanga Mujje Washington DC and the Kabaka’s representative in the area went ahead and did it anyway tighter with a big fashion show and disco (see”Kabaka’s Representative Turns Buganda Day Into NRM Party, Ekiba Kibe”). This upset quite a few people, including one long-term NRM woman, who wrote to Buganda Post to alert us about NRM operation in the diaspora.

Our source told us she was especially upset that Kabaka’s representative approved the removal of the Kabaka title and lion from the Buganda cake, not to upset Museveni. She said: “These people intentionally removed the lion, which is the symbol of the Kabaka, off the cake. Even worse, they changed the writing on the cake to be ‘Awangaale Nnyaffe Buganda’. This is not by accident. The Omulangira approved replacing ‘Kabaka’ with ‘Buganda’ even though it reads funny because Buganda is not a person. It is all part of a plan that the NRM’s diaspora team is playing out to make the Kabaka a non-issue. I don’t know what to do but as a Muganda I am having a lot of conflict.”

We can report that a diaspora based team of NRMs are working in a lose think-tank that brainstorms about how to help president Museveni weaken all Baganda organizations overseas. A highly reliable source inside NRM USA has told us that: “In 2008 president Museveni realized that the cadres in New York, Washington DC, London and Toronto are much better equipped than Kampala NRMs to plan and execute anti-Buganda actions in the diaspora. With advice from the likes of Abdul Kimbugwe and others (names omitted to protect our sources), the NRM started investing cash in Boston, Washington DC, New York and Los Angeles to buy Baganda youths in the NRM. They bribe the leaders with cash or government contracts, give them general guides, and allow them to operate independently.”

“One important target is to make Baganda youth lose interest in the Kabaka institution and see Kabaka Mutebi as politically ambitious. For example, one propaganda story that is supposed to be planted in Washington DC and Los Angeles claims that Kabaka Mutebi wants to replace Museveni and become president as his late father was. The Washington DC chapter of Ggwanga Mujje is now considered key to the NRM plans because the leadership are willing to work closely with the ambassador and other NRMs.”

On May 30, 2010, some of Kabaka’s subjects who attended the Baganda Day event in Washington DC were shocked to see it turned into an NRM celebration of their victory over nationalist Baganda in that city.  According to Mr. Kabuye of Ekiba Kibe and two other attendees who sent emails to Buganda Post, the organizers who were led by Prince Fred Kalema-Musoke, who serves as Kabaka’s representative in Washington DC , turned the usually humble event into an NRM celebration.

As Mr. Kabuye says in his June 1, 2001 Ekiba Kibe broadcast,  Buganda flags were barred from the ceremony. And the three “real” princes  of Buganda who were supposed to be the official guests were humiliated when a huge NRM flag was hang over the high table where they sat.  The abuse of members of  Buganda’s royal family did not stop there.  Fred Kalema-Musoke and Mr.  Chris Kizito (the Chairman of Ggwanga Mujje DC) refused a “real” princess and real sister of the Baganda princes  at the high table to enter without paying simply because they know her to be very pro-Buganda. Click on Ekiba_Kibe01Jun10 to listen to the June 1, 2010 Ekiba Kibe broadcast.

Maybe the most shocking thing is that the Kabaka’s representative and his people seemed to do everything in their power to make Buganda Day a Ugandan fashion show and party. In addition to the NRM flags, Prince Kalema-Musoke told the audience that it was unfortunate that ambassador Kamunanwire was not able to attend.  Yet he never mentioned that Kabaka’s representatives from Boston or New York. Prince Kalema-Musoke also encouraged everyone to make sure that they attend UNAA in September 2010, even if Kabaka Mutebi chooses to attend Ttabamiruka in New Jersey.  Then came the real shocker. The usually humble activities at Buganda Day became a real party when a fashion show of American hip clothes started, mostly tiny miniskirt dresses and skimpy blouses. The hot fashion show was later followed by hot dancing and celebration.

The annual Buganda Day event was originally started to remember the attack on Ssekabaka Muteesa II’s Palace on May 24, 1966 and the exile and murder that followed, by Milton Obote’s government. Over the years, the organizers of Buganda Day have displayed the Buganda flag, honored Baganda elders in attendance, made speeches about  the occupation of Buganda, eaten dinner and watched some traditional Baganda dancers. But the message was always clear: get together as Baganda to remember the suffering that the Kabaka and his subjects have seen since 1996. This year the whole things was turned a party where even Buganda flags were not allowed, since it could annoy the NRM government.

Ggwanga Mujje DC has released a press statement announcing ceremonies to commemorate the beginning of the armed occupation of Buganda by the Uganda Government. Notably, some of the top leaders of Ggwangamujje Washington DC, especially Fred Kalema-Musoke and Michael Kimbugwe-Kalema have also been pushing hard for the Nnabagereka to attend the NRM sponsored UNAA 2010 conference. Kalema-Musoke also serves as the Kabaka’s representative in Mid-Eastern USA.

Radio Free Buganda has clarified that the announcement by Moses Wilson that Nnabagereka Sylvia Nnagginda will be the keynote speaker at UNAA Washington is bogus. In the April 18, 2010 Ekiba Kibe programme, the anchorman, Mr. Robert Kabuye, explained that Wilson’s announcement is a scam to help UNAA register Baganda. Kabuye said:  “Abakulu abamu abategeka kwekuli omukulu eyeyita omulangira, Kalema Musoke, omukulu eyeyita family ya Kabaka, Moses Wilson, omukulu eyeyita Zabasaja nga ye Zabasaida, ne mukyala we. Bagenda bagamba abantu ku Facebook nti Maama wa Buganda y’agenda okubeera omugenyi omukulu mu bintu byaabwe ebya Museveni ebya UNAA. Teli atakimanyi nti UNAA ya Museveni. Era bazeemu okukozesa obukodyo bwebumu obwa Museveni.” (“Some of the oreganizers are Kalema Musoke, who says he is a prince, Moses Wilson, who claims to be a close relative of the Kabaka, Mr. Zabasaida, who calls himself Zabasaja and his wife. They tell people on Facebook that the mother of Buganda will be the chief guest at Museveni’s UNAA. Everyone knows that Museveni owns UNAA. They have started to use Museveni’s dirty tactics once again.”

Kabuye asks: “Lwaaki temulanga muka Museveni nti yajja? Lwaaki muyingirira byaffe ebya Buganda? Mwagala otukubya emizimu emiggo!” (“Why don’t you use Mrs. Museveni? Why do you meddle in Buganda affairs? Do you want the spirits of Buganda ancestors to punish us?”) He tells the UNAA team to stop spreading  false stories about the Nnabagereka and to stay out of Buganda affairs. Kabuye advises them to invite Mrs. Museveni. According to Mr. Kabuye’s, when they play with the Nnabagereka name, they are massaging the lion’s teeth. Finally The he demands that Omulangira Kalema Musoke must make clear where his loyalty is – Buganda or UNAA – and assures his listerners that Abaana ba Kintu will certainly stop the dirty tacktics against the Nnabagereka. MR. Kabuye vows to stop any attempt to connect the Nnabagereka institution with UNAA.

We have received several inquiries and complaints about a press release that is circulating on the Internet and announcing that the mother of Buganda, Nnabagereka Sylvia Nnagginda, will be the key note speaker at the 2010 UNAA convention in Washington DC, USA. The press release came from the email of Moses Wilson the president of UNAA.

To honor the Nnabagereka institution, Buganda Post shall not publish any of the very strong opinions that Baganda may express about Mr. Wilson’s press release.  However, we can report that some Baganda in USA are extremely concerned that, after failing to compromise Kabaka Mutebi, the NRM is using the UNAA to set up his wife for a major embarrassment. The NRM is the UNAA’s biggest funder and Perez Kamunanirwe, NRM’s ambassador in the USA and Kabaka’s representatives in the USA engineered the deal for UNAA.

If Nnabagereka Sylvia Nnagginda goes to the UNAA convention in Washington DC, she could land in the middle of the increasingly controversial politics of Uganda American community, which is fast breaking apart. During the 2009 UNAA convention in Chicago, there was strong evidence of NRM style vote manipulation. Besides vote theft, the NRM government flew over 300 operatives to the USA to vote for Moses Wilson.  Besides the election problems at UNAA Chicago, Baganda made Mrs. Museveni extremely and visibly angry when they told her that her she and her husband were the most corrupt presidential family they had ever seen.

Wilson’s win split the UNAA organization into camps of Frank Musisi and Flex Kabuye supporters. Later, new organizations to compete with UNAA were created, including UADA and UDII. Many other Baganda simply woke up and totally abandoned UNAA/NRM style politics and joined the movement to liberate Buganda (“Buli mbuzi ku nkondo yaayo”).  Recently UADA announced that they would hold their own convention in Boston on the same dates as UNAA.  And most Baganda fed up with UNAA/NRM are expected to go Ttabamiruka ’10 because it focuses on Buganda issues.

PRESS RELEASE

HRH Sylvia Nagginda, Nnabagereka of Buganda, to give Key Note Speech at

2010 UNAA Convention in Washington, DC

The Ugandan North American Association (UNAA) is pleased to announce that the Key Note Speaker at its upcoming 22nd Annual Convention in Washington DC will be Her Royal Highness Sylvia Nagginda, Nnabagereka of Buganda.

The Nnabagereka is the Patron of the Uganda Cancer Research Foundation and will be leading a delegation from this organization that will host a forum on its work at the UNAA Convention on Saturday September 4th, 2010.

HRH Sylvia Nagginda, The Nnabagereka of Buganda

The restoration of the Kabakaship in 1993 heralded the genesis of a new Buganda. It gave the Baganda a new sense of purpose and a vision towards a common future. The Nnabagereka (Her Royal Highness, the Queen), who is the wife of the Kabaka (King of Buganda), is considered the mother of the Kingdom and a symbol of unity for the Baganda.

There is a new and significant role HRH Sylvia Nagginda, as the wife of the Kabaka, has to play in the Kingdom. Since there had never been an office of the Nnabagereka, its inception in September 1999 was a new and very crucial phenomenon.  The Nnabagereka has a mission to lead a meaningful resuscitation of human, family and traditional values and sustained improvement in the social and economic welfare of the people. As a “mother” of the Baganda, the Nnabagereka spearheads the task of encouraging, sensitizing and mobilizing the general population.

HRH Sylvia Nagginda belongs to the Musu clan (Wild Rat) and comes from the Sebugwawo family in Nkumba-Entebbe. She was born in the United Kingdom and studied in both Uganda and the United States of America where she lived for more than 18 years before returning to Uganda to become wife to the Kabaka in 1999

HRH Sylvia Nagginda is the first Nnabagereka (Queen) in the history of the Buganda Kingdom to set up a fully-fledged Office, a very crucial phenomenon that has greatly complimented the ongoing development work in the Kingdom and Uganda at large. Her main focus areas are early childhood care and development; education for the girl child; vocational training and employment for the youth; empowerment of women, health issues particularly regarding the prevention and cure of childhood diseases, nutrition, and sexual reproductive health including the prevention of HIV/AIDS.  Touched by the expanding impact of cancer on the people in Uganda, especially among children and women, HRH is shining new light on the fight against this disease.

A pillar of development, Her Royal Highness established the Nnabagereka Development Foundation (NDF) in 2000. The Foundation is a charitable Non-Governmental Organization whose mission is to restore the vitality of Buganda and Uganda at large by marshaling community and household human resources for social and economic development. The Nnabagereka is a Patron of several organizations including the Christian Children’s Fund (CCF) Uganda, Special Olympics Uganda, Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH), and the Uganda Cancer Research Foundation (UCRF), for which she is also a Founder Member and Patron.  She is also a Good Will Ambassador for the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA).

Held in high esteem and commanding a lot of respect among Ugandans, the Nnabagereka has worked passionately to fulfill her vision of uplifting the people’s standards of living. She has played a major role in sensitizing and mobilizing the general population on issues of education, health, poverty eradication, culture preservation, and has graciously supported and empowered marginalized groups as the youth, women and persons with disabilities.

Register today for the UNAA DC 2010 convention at www.unaa.org

According to the cell phone radio Ekiba Kibe Program of Saturday December 18, 2009, one of the leaders in newly formed Ugandan Diaspora and American Development Association (UADA), is in a USA immigration jail after being reported by UNAA officials. In the Luganda program, Mr. Robert Kabuye e Boston, explains that one David Aligaweesa  was arrested after Mr. Moses Wilson, UNAA president, and his supporters reported him to the USA immigration services.   Aligaweesa’s immigration papers are not in good order. According to sources in Boston, UADA plans to hold a convention in Boston in September, to compete directly with the 2010 event, which will be in Washington DC.

UADA is one of at least three breakaway organizations that have been formed in the wake of the controversial 2009 UNAA elections in Chicago. One was formed by Flex Kabuye, who was reportedly sponsored by the NRM to be a spoiler in Chicago. The second one, Ugandans in The Diaspora, was formed by one James Kabonge but details about it are still sketchy. And the third is UADA, where David Aligaweesa is one of the principals. All these are run by Baganda and are in direct competition with Museveni funded UNAA where the key players are Moses Wilson (President), Ssenoga, Gaburungi, Fred and Brenda Kalema Musoke, Moses Kalemba, Rosette Serwanga and Alex Zabasajja.

The December 18, 2009 Ekiba Kibe also exposes the visit to the USA by Kahinda Otafiire, to bring bribe money for Ugandan spies in America. It also reports on the Buganda Conference and explains the evils of the NRM’s new land bill.

Ekiba Kibe program is broadcast to people’s cell phones as multi-media messages (MMS) that you can you can play on your cell phone, if it has the MMS feature. This writer knows of some people in Uganda who receive the Ekiba Kibe program on their cell phones.

***To listen to the Ekiba Kibe SMS Radio program click here.***

On November 4, 2009, one Caroli Mpoza sent an email to the Uganda Community in Washington DC, inviting them to the first meeting on UNAA Washington DC 2010. Mr. Mpoza identified himself as UNAA DC Planning Committee Chairman. For those who needed further information Mr. Mpoza suggested that they contact him or Omulangira Fred Kalema-Musoke or Omulangira Michael Kimbugwe (Kalema’s son). Fred Kalema is the Kabaka’s representative in the Washington DC area.

Mpoza’s email did not sit well with a large section of Baganda in the Washington DC area, who do not recognize Mr. Moses Wilson as the fairly elected president of UNAA because they insist that he beat Lt. Frank Musisi with the help of NRM style vote rigging. James Kabonge, a long-term resident of Washington DC represented some of these upset Baganda when he responded to Mpoza’s invitation with a tough “shut up already” email on November 5, 2009. Not mincing words, Kabonge said, “I am disappointed in all of you who are supporting the current UNAA-NRM administration, and even helping them to plan 2010 convention,” in reference to Moses Wilson’s administration. Kabonge further promised:  ”I am going to work to see a change in Uganda , and NRM government extension worldwide, and I ask peace and non corrupt Ugandans to join me in this mission.”

The two emails from Caroli Mpoza and James Kabonge are reproduced at the end of this story.

In the meantime, Flex Kabuye, who was a distant third in the UNAA vote for president, went ahead and formed his own breakaway alternative to UNAA by early October,2009. According to sources in Texas, Kabuye, who is widely called “Seya” due to his weak command of the English language, has already started plans for his own Uganda conference in September 2010. The conference is reportedly planned for Atlanta, Georgia and further details are expected to appear on his website www.flexkabuye.info.

Although Kabonge did not reveal if and where he and his supporters might hold a Uganda conference, many Baganda in North America and Europe are raising questions about 2010 Ugandan conference in North America.  It is not clear how many Ugandan conferences will be held and what  issues they will focus on. Becuae the political situation in Uganda is also very volatile, it is difficult even to guess how much the NRM will invest to influence or scatter any of the Uganda meetings.

Based on the emails we have received about the UNAA split, it appears that a growing number of Baganda are losing faith in the ability of UNAA, FDC, DP or UPC or the Uganda Parliament to help Buganda out of  NRM “captivity”. For example, one email said: “In Chicago I thought that Buganda issues were at last getting some attention. But after seeing over 100 NRMs, DPs and UPC from Uganda come to influence the vote, I think that neither UNAA nor DP or FDC can deal with my interests as a Muganda.”

In a related development, on November 14, 2009 the organizers of Ttabamiruka distributed an email promoting the Buganda Conference on December 17, 2009. The email also said that Ttabamiruka ‘10 “will build on the outcome of the Buganda Conference.” More details about Ttabamiruka ‘10 are found on their website at www.ttabamiruka.com.

Mr. Mpoza
UNAA RNM Fruad and Corrupt
DC Planning Committee Chairman

It is an insult to me and a lot of Ugandan to legitimize the current UNAA-NRM Administration and even to make it worse, to support them in planning a UNAA-NRM convention in my backyard.

We are fighting corruption, fraud and democracy, and yet we are supporting UNAA-NRM Chicago corrupt and fraud administration.

I am disappointed with friends, and people I know nation wide, who are claiming that they want to see a change in Uganda and yet they are the key supporters or participants of UNAA-NRM DC convention and their agents. Museveni/NRM is laughing at us.

How can we change Uganda if we are supporting what went on in Chicago ? How can we complain about Museveni’s corruption and voter fraud and yet we allowed the fraud that he exported from NRM in Uganda to Chicago convention?

We are condemning Museveni, yet we are supporting his agents and their actions, in my poor understanding of life ” that is double standard”

As one of the founding member of UNAA, I am disappointed in all of you who are supporting the current UNAA-NRM administration, and even helping them to plan 2010 convention. Some of you have been in New York , Boston , and DC demonstrations against Museveni’s Government for corruption, fraud, and democracy and, yet you are supporting his Government extension in America which UNAA-NRM, THIS IS WRONG.

In the demonstrations, some of had signs saying that MUSEVENI MUST GO, yet you are now  saying MUSEVENI WE LOVE SO MUCH AND WE ARE SUPPORT YOUR UNAA-NRM  GOVERNMENT EXTENSION HERE IN USA, ” this is wrong and we are watching.

I am going to work to see a change in Uganda , and NRM government extension world wide, and I ask peace and non corrupt Ugandans to join me in this mission.

Charity begins at home, let us start with UNAA-NRM administration, and end up in Lwakitura.

MUSEVENI MUST GO, AND MUSEVENIS’S EXTENSION GOVERNMENTS MUST GO.

Mr. Mpoza please take me off your UNAA-NRM FRAUD CORRUPT DOUBLE STANDARD CONVENTION PLANNING MAILING LIST, IT IS AN INSULT TO ME TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE GROUP.

Good Luck, the world is watching

James Kabonge
