On June 16, 2010 we received an email announcement from a person we now know to be a close advisor to former Katikkiro Dan Muliika. He is a church pastor in the Boston area.

According to the Luganda email, Muliika’s camp has discovered a plot by Museveni to arrest the former Katikkiro.  The email presents no such evidence. However, it asks every one to remember president Museveni’s recent threat to “cut off Buganda’s head”. It is not clear if the email is suggesting that former Katikkiro Dan Muliika is Buganda’a head.

When Owek. Muliika last visted Boston less than 2 months ago, he was declared leader of a new political group to fight Museveni through civic education of all Ugandans.  It was named Ggwanga Mujje International, which some Baganda found offensive. Then less than two weeks ago, Mr. Muliika announced, with former Katikkiro Mulwaanyamuli Ssemwogerere, that he was supporting Uganda’s opposition coalition and Kiiza Besigye. 

The email from Owek. Muliika’s Boston based advisor is reproduced in full below:
