So you mean you are now calling the Kabaka of Buganda and his followers fools!.. I think the Ssebasaga is smart enough to realize that Museveni's NRM gave him "Biyoyo be Nsuwa", while Museveni uses the Kabaka shoulder to climb to promote himself.
The fact of the matter is that the Kabaka and many of his subject in Buganda are suffering as a result of biting poverty in Uganda Ushered in by the "visionary leadership" of the NRM.
The Kabaka himself put it quiet eloquently and succulently when he question the kind of Kingship NRM offered him. The King of Buganda has no authority to levy taxes on his subjects...this is but a fact.... and therefore cannot collect sufficient revenue to finance development projects in Buganda and for the Buganda.
In fact, the Kabaka has to beg for handouts from Yoweri Museveni's NRM Regime for his daily expenses. Meanwhile many of his subjects in Buganda are suffering biting poverty, lack of jobs e.t.c People are living in desperate situation in Buganda while people from certain favored areas "wash their face with Milk" ( if you know what I mean)
Some commoner on this forum argued that the Kabaka should conduct "fund Raising " or Harrambee to in order to obtain funds to finance projects in Buganda. This is a terrible insult and a demeaning comment one can make about the KING.
Ultimately, as the say, all politics boils down to the "Checkbook". This is true here in the states, in UK, and In Buganda.

When you hear things like that, it makes you wonder about the calibre of
politians in Uganda (particularly in the UPC). How low are they willing to
stoop in order to obtain political power..talk about a dog returning to its
vomit..i've been pointing out to people on this forum that the UPC has
nothing to offer Uganda. Look at how they are shamelessly ready to swallow
there words..basically do a round about turn, just to get power and you tell
me Uganda will be better off with such fools..it only remains to be seen if
the Kabaka and Baganda are even stupidier by going along with them. After
all only fools can rule fools. NONSENSE
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."
