For the record I am not against Federalism, I am against "A Buganda
expansionism at the cost of annihilating all Northerners under the guise of
Federalism. I am against The Buganda federalism which is being cooked by the
Uganda Vice president as we speak. Surely that is a very simple and direct
response to your allegation.
