I think the question you rise has been clearly answered long ago, we favor both.  
Within Buganda there is a clear large majority in favor of a federal Uganda.  There is 
also in Buganda a clear large majority in favor of the monarchy, which since 1955 has 
been a constitutional monarchy.

The unsolved issues are what workable and durable constitution Uganda will adopt and 
what mechanism will lead to the fashioning of such a constitution.  My reading of 
Buganda opinion is that Buganda will go along with an arrangement that recognises 
Buganda as a unified entity with internal autonomy. I realise that there is some 
discomfort outside Buganda with such expectations but they are unlikely to be 
bargained away.
