"Why are the Baganda so insistent and adamant about federo?  To us federalism is as natural as breathing.  Consider a child born into a homestead. After a period of dependence on the parents lasting up to 20 years, the child matures and sets up his/her own independent homestead in which the young wo/man is the supreme head.  This, as we all know, does not in any way mean that the child no longer recognizes his/her parents. It only means the young wo/man now takes responsibility for his/her own upkeep, makes decision as to what to eat for dinner, when or if to come back home from an event, etc, etc."

Is this Ugandan talking about Federalism or Feudalism? This is the exact problem we have in this discussion, but may be it is the language problem, for that paragraph wrong as it is, is how our parents in Buganda recite it. One would expect Mwaami Ssemakula to know better. It is this half truths which is killing Buganda kingdom. For if Buganda kingdom is to survive, it will survive by supporting a National leader who is willing to protect Uganda constitution which will guarantee freedom of association. But you do not help Buganda by telling a blatant lie than Federalism is natural to Buganda as breathing. That is being just plainly silly.
