Kabaka shuns �Prince� Kimbugwe over sh40m
New Vision - 26/2/2004

KABAKA Ronald Mutebi has dissociated himself from �Prince� Edward Kimbugwe following his failure to clear a sh40m bill in a Germany hospital.
�He is not a son of Sir Edward Muteesa II and he was not in Germany on matters connected to the kingdom or to the royals,� Mutebi said, adding that the responsibility to clear the bill lay on Kimbugwe.
Kimbugwe was admitted in Klinikum Mannheim from June 6 to July 8, 2003.
He was invited to Germany by Dr. F. Mukasa of Asenberg.
In a letter to the Kabaka, Mukasa said Kimbugwe tricked the hospital to treat him after pausing as a royal and son to the late Sir Edward Muteesa, Mutebi�s father.
Mukasa was in January charged in court after Kimbugwe left the hospital without his knowledge. He asked Mutebi to help him clear the sh40m bill.
Yesterday, Kimbugwe said the travellers� insurance Mukasa got for him catered for the bill. He said he did not pose as Mu
teesa�s
son.
�How could I have left the hospital without clearing the bills? If Mukasa�s allegation is true, why didn�t he report me to Interpol instead of going to newspapers?� he asked.
