When one reads such postings, one can not help
but wonder if Buganda, and if this King has any idea of what he is stating here.
If you go to Buganda and talk to the population as
I did early in the year, you cannot help but come to a conclusion that the Mengo
confused agents have done a real piece of work on the Buganda population.
It is very irresponsible for this Ssabasajja to state that Buganda will get
federal, for this king has absolutely no right to state so or even to ask for
it. For smart as this King is, surely he knows full well that even president
Museveni can not make Buganda a federal. A smart King as this king is surely by
now would have understood, that even if Uganda today gets a Muganda President,
he/she can not give Buganda federal. So with such comments one can not help but
wonder what is wrong with us as Baganda.
But all these things we stated long time ago, and
they all have come true, we were called anti Buganda and people like my self and
Lisa Toro were booted out of Fednet, for we failed to see the beauties which are
going to become of Buganda when Uganda becomes a Federal state. Some times I
monitor what squabbles go on in fednet today and I thank God for I ain't a
member of such, for we have lost clarity.
And friends like Mwami Kibuuka who I love so well,
must back off a bit today and ask them selves a simple question. What does DP
especially the young DP has to do with all this fracas? Are the Kijyomanyi's,
the Dr Kigongo's and so on of today in this war for they love Buganda and
Uganda? Or it is because they want to see DP in power so they use Buganda
through Mengo to get the Buganda support? You see what this King must understand
is that if the Baganda today have beaten the crap out of Mayanja Nkangi, their
former Katikiro, they will turn against Mengo as soon as they are in
power.
If the Kijyomanyi's trully support Federalism to
empower Buganda, and not out of malice, why don't they support Kabaka Yekka
Party? Have you ever asked your self that
question?
Let me give Mengo an advice. You are a cultural
institution in Uganda. You will be in Uganda and as a cultural entity whether
Uganda is a federal state or a unitary state, and there is no debate about that.
But due to your size and location in the nation, Uganda government will look at
you very carefully and you vice versa. So instead of blaming Obote and Amin,
instead of attacking Museveni and NRM, show that you have grown democratically.
Demonstrate that. Even in federal countries like Canada, negotiations are done
daily on who can control this or that, and to tell you the truth all governments
I have seen love some one to take responsibility from it. Surely if Buganda can
run Buganda hospitals effectively, Uganda government will hand them over for
that will be one problem less. If you see a government refusing to hand over
responsibility to any one, then you have two things on your hand, either the
government isn't sure about your ability to fulfill such, or every one in the
nation is eating and you want a piece of the pie through lies and
innuendos.
So I ask. Do we as Baganda honestly want Buganda to
be federal when we can not get an election in Mengo ever? Ssabasajja stand up
and demonstrate to me that you are not a dictator as Museveni, for you have an
elected Lukiiko in Mengo then I will trust you as a Muganda to support your
call. For I am fine with Museveni being a dictator for I can get a gun and over
throw him but the Kingdom is born. Ssabasajja you are using an unelected Lukiiko
to build an entity which you claim to become democratic, can you explain this
please, after we get federal in Buganda are you going to fire all the Lukiko
members and make them stand in their constituencies to be elected back into
Lukiiko? How exactly will this work?
You are asking for Ebyaffe, and you surely should
get them. But Ssabasajja NRM handed over some properties to Buganda when the
kingdom was reinstated, what have you done with them so far? Can we see that
report please? For I can state here and now that if the properties given back to
Mengo by NRM, were being used profitably today, if they were an icon in Uganda
today, then the call from State House would be to ask you if you need more. Take
The AgKan as an example, he has buildings and it is accountability and he will
get more any time. Ssabasajja where is Mengo's accountability?
Until when we can demonstrate that Mengo is better
than NRM, it is all a joke and DP is right to use federal request to get to
power.
Ayi Ssabasajja Wangala.
