The King of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II

On the eve of the celebrations to mark his 31 years coronation anniversary as King of Buganda last week, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II strongly confirmed to his subjects and entire world that he doesn’t have an assistant or deputy who has to execute his duties in his absence.

He further stated that the only person who helps him to govern Buganda Kingdom is his Prime Minister who was appointed by himself.

Highly placed sources at Bulange the headquarters of Buganda Kingdom confirmed to theGrapevine that the speech was recorded from his Nkoni palace where he is resting from since his return from Namibia.

In the recording that was played to the guests including Buganda Kingdom clan heads who attended the prayers at Namirembe Cathedral, Kabaka Mutebi confirmed that he has been following whatever was going on in his Kingdom while he was away in Namibia receiving medication.

He divulged that a lot of bad things happened which shamed the kingdom and put the Kiganda culture in bad light.

To drive his is point home, Kabaka used the Kiganda proverb that says; ‘Eryokanga n’etonnya ne tulaba ensiisira bwe zenkanya emyoyo’ which translates that ‘it is fortunate that it rained so that we can see which hut is the strongest’.

Mutebi wondered why people have violated the Kiganda norms and culture for their personal benefits.
