KAMPALA � Uganda will never enjoy total peace if
Buganda is not granted a federal system of governance, the retired
Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Livingstone Mpalanyi Nkoyooyo, said
yesterday.
Nkoyooyo,
who led a nine-man team of religious leaders who met the Katikkiro,
Joseph Ssemwogerere, at Bulange yesterday, said the politics of Uganda
gravitates on Buganda.
He said
when Buganda cries, other regions cry too. �Uganda can only enjoy peace
as long as Buganda is at peace. �The history is there for Ugandans to
draw a lesson from,� Nkoyooyo said after the five-hour meeting.
�It is good
that the Katikkiro has told us Buganda's position with the President. We
have been reading the developments through newspapers. We support
Buganda�s cause,� Nkoyooyo told The Monitor after the closed
meeting.
He said
they were happy with Buganda�s position over its demands.
The
meeting started at 11,00am. Sources from Mengo said the religious
leaders met the Katikkiro to be briefed about the progress over the
federo talks with the President.
The
government and a delegation from Mengo have been engaged in several
talks over whether Buganda should be granted a federal system of
governance, the return of Kampala and the 9000 square miles to Buganda,
among other things.
So far the
discussions have not yield tangible
results. |
