Rehema Mukooza,
Who in fact is Rehema Mukooza?
Anyway, Rehema, with due respect, I have no problem with the way you look at Buganda in Uganda. But I suspect you will have some tough political battles to do if that is the way you look at Buganda in Uganda. I therefore think your hands are full; I do not want to go any further contributing on this issue/debate.
Wishing you all the best.

Okello:You are exactly right on the point! Other Ugandans' spent their taxes in building some of the buildings in the city. These Ugandans taxes have been spent by the central gov'ts strengthening its interests in Buganda. Ask yourself why?? Why could a Lango president spend taxes from Lango building himself mansions in Buganda?? Filling the Buganda police force with Langi persons, who understood none about the native Luganda language, creating all sorts of misunderstandings. Other than strengthening his (Obote) interests in Buganda, give another reason.Let me caution you my friend! Contributing a small amount of taxes that the central gov't used to do its job as a gov't, to build roads and gov't buildings in Buganda (Kampala) does not mean Buganda did not contribute the largest amount. We need to look back into the taxation records and we shall find out exactly how much taxes the rest of Uganda contributed to the central gov't, which the central gov't in turn used to help with the building of Buganda (Kampala).Mr. Okello, I want you to bring the tax records, and the central gov'ts budget here on Ugandanet, and have me discuss this in details. Buganda contributed to the building and raising of her herself (Kampala) at an estimate of 80%, I believe it is more than that. As matter of fact the most region that has contributed significantly in the range of the remaining 20% is Busoga, due to her industrial revolution and electricity, plus its trade routes to Kenya. Busoga in turn gained to, worth not for this thug-Mu7 taking power and Busoga's industrial revolution declined.I want to make it clear to you that Buganda is Buganda, It stays intact. I've heard of these silly stories of non-Baganda getting scared to support federalism because they think that they will be chased out of Buganda (Kampala)! These people must not be capable of critical thinking! Don't they know about property rights?? If the central gov't has its buildings in Buganda (Kampala), who is going to temper with their property rights?? Who is going to temper with the central gov'ts international airport in Entebbe?? People who are afraid as such must not have been familiar with the rule of law, and a constitution! This is a clash of civilizations! One civilization is capable of mastering the rule of law, and some are not! What a misfortune!Belonging to any tribe/nation is a good thing. It's our African identity civilization.I guess the donors of Uganda will claim Uganda as their territory because they "contributed" to the building of Uganda. Is this why we have a Commonwealth membership?? But we Ugandans know better that Uganda belongs to Uganda. Why is that?? Answer, Mr. Okello then we can continue with our conversation.Zakoomu R.
