Netters, There you go with UPC's support for Federo.
Now UPC cautious on federo By Alex B. Atuhaire The Uganda People's Congress yesterday said Buganda must be honest on her demand for a federal status. UPC Presidential Policy Commission chairman Dr. James Rwanyarare said the status of Kampala must be addressed honestly and squarely. "The Baganda have a lot of re-assurance to give that we who are non-Baganda can live happily and exploit our virtues fully, including being Bishop of Namirembe," he said. "By the way, anybody who is elected pope becomes the bishop of Rome," Rwanyarare told a news conference at the party headquarters, Uganda House, Kampala. Rwanyarare said that in 1962 the Baganda refused Archbishop Eric Sabiiti to lead the Church of Uganda from Namirembe because he wasn�t a Muganda. That's how All Saints Church, Nakasero, was created. He said such attitudes amount to double standards. Last week Buganda, led by its Katikkiro Joseph Ssemwogerere, presented to the Constitutional Review Commission a fresh demand for a federal status. The kingdom also wants Kampala declared part of Buganda again. The country's capital was demarcated out of Buganda by the 1995 Constitution. In 1966 the UPC government abolished kingdoms after the Buganda Lukiiko ordered then Prime Minister Milton Obote to remove the central government from Buganda's soil. Rwanyarare said yesterday that the Lukiiko was the cause of the 1966 crisis. He said that though Buganda's demand was genuine, President Yoweri Museveni was using Baganda extremists to spoil the move. Rwanyarare named Minister for the Presidency Gilbert Bukenya and Minister of State for Security Muruli Mukasa. Party officials Badru Wegulo, Henry Mayega, Adonia Tiberondwa, Patrick Kirunda and Michael Apiliga attended the news conference. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
