But shouldn't we get democratic elections in Mengo
before we make decisions on issues affecting the rest of our
lives?

Buganda sets city surety
Buganda has proposed measures to prevent any regional government from
evicting the central government from any part of the country, reports
Josephine Maseruka.
The proposal aims at convincing the
central government to include Kampala city in Buganda.
The
officials are of the view that if a provision barring any regional
government from evicting the central government in any part of Uganda is
included in the Constitution, it will be enough security for the central
government to have Kampala, the capital city in Buganda kingdom without
any fears of being evicted.
They also want the Constitution to
grant the central government full powers to acquire land or properties
from any region in the national interest.
These are some of the
measures set not to evict the central government from any region.
The views are contained in the 157-page document of Buganda�s
proposals to the Constitutional Review Commission (CRC).
They
said with the provisions in place, it would be impossible for any
regional government to �evict� the central government, or prevent it
from any lawful business in any part of Uganda.
�The people of
Buganda have great cultural and historical ties to Kampala district. It
is therefore illogical for the Constitution to provide that Kampala
district is not part of Buganda,� the proposal read.
Baganda
argue that Kampala district houses most important, cherished and sacred
traditional sites of the kingdom.
