How I wish one or two Baruuli were also appointed
into the kingdom's cabinet. Perhaps this would act as a conciliatory gesture to
the aggrieved Baruuli who got finally driven into installing their own cultural
leader after feeling neglected for too long by Mengo.
============
The very disease eating the federalists, thinking
that appointing every tribe into power can create peace in Uganda. Now we need
Baluri to have some posts, well are you talking about Baluri from Galiraya or
Nakasongola for they are not the same? And from there what other tribe should we
consider to be appointed by Kabaka as ministers as a way for him to prove his
broad based -ness? By the time this kabaka starts to control our taxes his
government is going to be bigger than Museveni's.
Amazing how Ugandans never learn, and Museveni is
right Ugandans are just too primitive to lead and they are lucky to have him for
a leader.

SIR� I wish to join other Ugandans in thanking Kabaka Ronald Mutebi for
his wise decision to include Ugandans of other races in the kingdom�s
cabinet.
This can only go a long way to prove that the king cares
for all his subjects regardless of their race, tribe, religion, sex and
creed. The fact that the Banyala finally found one of their own in the
kingdom�s cabinet, even though it came as a result of some recent pressures,
must be highly commended.

Lastly, I would like to appeal that in future, the Kabaka
also consider appointing into his cabinet Ugandans from other ethnic groups
who, for historical reasons have found themselves living for several
generations in Buganda.
I am refer ring to minority groups like the
Bahima who predominate Sembabule, the Nubians in Bombo, the Bakenyi and
others.

CORRIDORS OF POWER
Mutebi wants views
Kabaka Ronald Mutebi II of Buganda (right)
is apparently unhappy about some of his subjects being mum on pertinent
issues that affect their ebyaffe. While on his tour of Makindye Division
recently, the king stressed the need for people to voice their views. His
remarks were prompted by Mayor Ssebaana Kizito who said Buganda should be
granted federo because it is the only way to develop Buganda. �Some
of us have these thoughts that concern and pain us but we just keep quiet.
You should be vibrant because it�s good when someone comes and talks his
mind,� Mutebi said as the subjects cheered.
UPC
registering
Uganda People�s Congress (UPC) is now prepared to use
all tricks to ensure that it gets the party�s registration certificate.
While dispatching delegates to gather signatures from party members
upcountry, the party sent three different people with three separate
registration forms. The three delegates travel led from Kampala by separate
means, but to the same places, and returned via different routes. The
registration forms were then kept in three different locations until they
were taken to the registrar of parties last week. Reason: �We didn�t want to
take chances; if one batch of forms was stolen or robbed, we would still
have been able to register,� said one UPC faithful.
Mukwaya
happy
After the hue and cry against her over the White Paper, Hajat
Janat Mukwaya (right) has sighed with relief following her shift from the
Ministry of Justice to that of Agriculture. At a meeting with the
agricultural board in Entebbe last Thursday, a beaming Mukwaya praised the
Lord for �surviving the White Paper pressure.� �I thank God that I was
successful in gender, and I have been successful in justice and
constitutional affairs... I don�t think agriculture will fail me.� She hopes
her new brief will help her retain the Mukono women�s parliamentary seat. �I
am committed to do anyth ing in the agriculture sector so as to win the 2006
elections.�
Makubuya�s warning
Shortly before he was
shifted from Education to Justice, Dr Khiddu Makubuya had vowed to fight
against malpractice in education all over the country. He warned of no
lenience for exam cheats, no gender tolerance for weak candidates who want
science courses. �We shall make sure we maintain integrity and merit in our
education system, especially the science disciplines,� he stressed.
