Messrs Kibuuka/Musamize
Who are these people talking for
Buganda? How did they get that position and how do they know Buganda's
interest/s?

Mr. Kibuka:
"In a statement yesterday, State House said Museveni told the MPs
that he spent a lot of time with Buganda�s negotiating team because they
championed the regional tier demand and raised a lot of issues
that needed harmonising."
Did Buganda champion and demand the regional
tier or do we champion and demand federalism?
Or does Movement logic equate Regional Tier to
Federalism? "M. Kibuka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Members,
Help me out
here, as I'm not sure where Nakasongola belongs. Is it part of Buganda,
Bunyoro, or not?
Baruli: We don't want to be part
of Buganda
Ssabagabe: We shall protect your
cultural identity
Baruli: We want direct line to
state house
Ssabagabe: Your interests shall be
catered for
Baruli: Nakasongola is a super
district with regional tier status
Ssabagabe: No problem, your
interests have been noted
What shall then
happen when Masaka districts doesn't want to be part of Buganda as one time
a member of this forum suggested. Extended, what shall happen when Kampala
decides to be part of Buganda! This might be sensitive, but, let's say
Sembabule demands to be part of Mbarara or Ankole? Please,
help.
Cheers, M. Kibuka

By Vision Reporter
PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni has said
the ongoing constitutional amendment proposal to create regional tier
governments is not aimed solely at pleasing Buganda.
Meeting MPs
from Bunyoro and Buruli at State House, Nakasero, on Wednesday,
Museveni said regional tiers was one of the mechanisms the Movement
government was using to harmonise contradicting interests that caused
anarchy during past regimes.
In a statement yesterday, State House
said Museveni told the MPs that he spent a lot of time with Buganda�s
negotiating team because they championed the regional tier demand and
raised a lot of issues that needed harmonising.
�The President
disclosed that the regional tier government option is open to all
regions and is appropriate for the country, given its past political
history. He explained that it was mandatory for districts in a region
to present resolutions before they were deemed to have united,� the
statement said.
�Museveni assured the Baruli, who have demanded to
be left out of the Buganda regional tier and maintain direct links
with the central government, that their interests will be catered for
and protected. He explained that safeguards, such as referenda to
ensure cultural diversity is protected and financed equally, will be
in place to protect the minority citizens in a regional tier,� the
statement added.
Museveni assured the Baruli MPs that the
Government recognised and would facilitate the Ssabaruli, the leader
of the Baruli, as provided for in the Constitution.
He told the
Bunyoro MPs that he had instituted a three-member commission of
inquiry to probe land wrangles in Kibaale district. The Bunyoro MPs,
led by the 2nd Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Service,
Henry Kajura (right), appreciated the President�s action to calm the
situation in Kibaale.
They proposed the elevation of Hoima town to
a municipality and the formation of a Bunyoro regional tier, once an
enablin g law is in place.
