OPEN LETTER FROM KABAKA’S REPRESENTATIVES IN NORTH AMERICA TO BUGANDA POST

July 28, 2010

We, the Kabaka’s Representatives in North America (Canada and the USA), would like to respond to your article entitled “Questions as Moses Wilson Thanks Kabaka’s Representatives” published on July 25,2010. We would like to clarify and refute some of the misleading, speculative, and damaging information that is contained in your over-referenced posting.  

1. First of all, you expressed concern in your publication that the press release issued by the Kabaka’s Representatives on July 23, 2010, did not specify whether the “official communication from Buganda Kingdom administration” was sent to the Kabaka’s Representatives by the “Kabaka, the Katikkiro or another person in Buganda Kingdom.” It might have been an oversight on our part not to mention that the communication we received was issued by the Katikkiro. However, since the Katikkiro is the leader of the “Buganda Kingdom Administration”, we assumed that it would be fairly obvious to you that the Katikkiro was the source of this communication. Certainly it is naive on your part to suggest that Ssabasajja Kabaka issued the communication because that would not be his role. The Kabaka is not normally engage in the mundane day-to-day operations of the Buganda Kingdom Administration.
2. Secondly, you indicated in your publication that there were “ongoing conference calls and arguments between Kabaka’s Representatives, UNAA organizers and certain political activists about Katikkiro’s letter of July 0,2010.” You also speculated that “it appears as if the press release by the Kabaka’s Representatives intentionally avoided mentioning Katikkiro as a compromise with certain political interests.” You are simply wrong because we do not know of any Kabaka’s Representatives who participated or engaged in any conference calls with “UNAA organizer and certain political activists about the Katikkiro’s letter.” It would be worthwhile for you provide names of any Kabaka’s Representatives who engaged in such conference calls to prove that what you have written has merit. Please understand that these allegations that you are making about Kabaka’s Representatives are baseless and untrue. These are wild allegations that your publication should not be engaged in, if you claim to work for the good of Buganda.
3. Thirdly, you also asked why the Kabaka’ Representatives did not report the Katikkiro’s message to the general public for 3 days. We would like to mention that the Katikkiro’s letter was specifically addressed to Kabaka’s Representatives. Please understand that not all the information sent to Kabaka’ s Representatives by the Buganda Kingdom Administration is automatically released to the general public because that would not be appropriate. It usually requires a coordinated, joint effort by the Kabaka’s Representatives to issue a press release. There is no specific time-frame within which the Kabaka’s Representatives have to respond or to communicate such information to the public.
4. Finally, we, the Kabaka’s Representatives, believe that your publication, the Buganda Post, would he more useful and more credible if you disclosed the source of the information you publish. Your reporters or writers should reveal their names; otherwise one might conclude that your publication is simply engaged name calling and peddling lies and innuendoes. This sort of smear campaign is very destructive to the development of Buganda.
