Dear Sabassajja Kabaka of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II.
It is with great sorrow that I write today.
I have been told a surreal story about the tourism currently being
conducted at your Lubiri palace.
As we all know, after the sad events of 1966 as ordered by Milton Obote,
the Buganda palace was turned into a military facility. It became the base
for the Malire Mechanized Battalion. Subsequent armies after Amin also
utilized the barracks until when it was returned to Buganda.
Today European tourists flock there not because it is a Buganda kingdom
cultural venue, but because someone decided to tell unsuspecting visitors
that there is a dungeon there where Amin used to torture people. Why are
your subjects unscrupulously using my fathers name just to get money?
Any military specialist will tell you that what they are calling a torture
chamber, is in fact a former weapons storage bunker built by Amin. The
place where ammunition for tanks, artillery, mortar, heavy machine guns,
assault rifles, grenades and RPG's were kept.
It is designed with a mountain of sand on top of it. This is a precaution
to contain damage in case the bombs accidentally explode from the stores
underneath.
I humbly request that you tell your subjects to at least speak truth rather
than seek to make money dishonestly by tarnishing my fathers name.
I have been told that even school children are being taken there and fooled
about the place. Apparently one of those involved in the scam has even
written "someones last words" on the walls, and in red color for added
effect. Something that is scientifically impossible if they say such things
happened there 40 years ago.
The Uganda Tourist Board (UTB) and The Buganda Tourism Boars hace
conjointly created "The Kampala Walk" that takes tourists on a walk around
the capital city. And this armoury is said to feature in that tour as
"Amin's torture chamber".
Even one tourist who had visited wrote recently that: "Our next major stop
was the Empukku, the torture chambers used by Idi Amin during his reign of
power from 71-79. As we approached the surprisingly simple but eerily evil
cave-like structure, I found myself overwhelmed with grief of the thoughts
of all the people who must have died in this very place."
Sincerely Your Highness I hope somebody is making you legitimize this scam
unknowingly.
Because all those who created stories about Field Marshal Idi Amin are
either seeking for money by first engineering sympathy and sadness, or they
are seeking favors from his many enemies. But I don't see what more fame
your highness needs in this country.
I also wonder if it makes sense for those behind this to create hate (even
with gross falsehoods) rather than building national unity today.
If you crosscheck appropriately, the same weapons bunker design is
available in all armies, from the UK to Asia, US and Africa. With
possibility for a vehicle to reverse to the stores and offload/upload
ammunition easily just like at a hardware factory store, where the slide
doors are about a meter from the ground.
The Tanzanian forces, Obote's genocidal UNLA, and the NRA armies also
stored ammunition in the facility when they occupied the barracks after
President Idi Amin left the country in 1979.
I know that a tourist attraction is an important income generating project.
But why do they make the whole Kabaka earn from unsuspecting wazungu
tourists by lying in broad daylight about His Excellency President Idi Amin.
Kindly consider discussing this shameful behaviour by some of your subjects
on your property.
Kind regards
Hussein Lumumba Amin

PS: Here is a video depicting the true respect my father had for Buganda
when he repatriated the body of your highnesses late father Major General
Sir Edward Frederick William David Walugembe Mutebi
Luwangula Muteesa II, KBE, Kabaka of Buganda, and accorded him a state
burial with full government honors after he passed away in London (1969),
allegedly poisoned by Milton Obote.
Also, before she passed away in 1968, my grandmother had treated your royal
highnesses family diligently for many years as an experienced traditional
herbalist. I would therefore prefer the good between us to prevail:
