THE Baruuli clan heads have opted out of the proposed Buganda federal state saying they were sceptical of the kingdom�s motives.
They said the Baruuli were not party to the current demands by the Mengo establishment to give the Kabaka more powers because the Baruuli were harassed when the Kabaka had powers in the 60s.
These are some of the resolutions of a recent meeting of the Baruuli-banyara clan heads held in Nakasongola town under the Chairmanship of the Ssaabaruuli (the supreme cultural head of the 129 clans).
Ssaabaruuli Salongo Mwogezi said on Thursday that the meeting held in Nakasongola aimed at deciding on the demands for autonomy made by Mengo.
Nakasongola, inhabited by the Baruuli, is one of the counties of the Buganda kingdom.
�We do not want the federo that Buganda is demanding for. We prefer to remain under the central government� Mwogezi said.
