Buganda Kingdom Prime Minister (Katikkiro) Charles Peter Mayiga launched a veiled attack on apparent detractors, warning they are intent on destroying Uganda’s largest monarchy.
“There are enemies of Buganda, and some include those you see sponsored to endlessly attack Buganda on social media,” Mayiga said on Monday. He claimed that many of Buganda’s enemies are within metropolitan Kampala, funded by known diaspora elements whom he preferred to name in the future.
“They pretend to be speaking out of excessive love for Buganda, but they are liars with their own intentions of disrupting the kingdom,” Mayiga told journalists in Mengo.
His comments come shortly after the controversial return of the 69-year-old Kabaka Mutebi to Uganda following the denial of his visa extension in Namibia, which caused diplomatic tension between the two countries. “We have another category of people who are working day and night to weaken or even put an end to the monarchy. They even took their games to Namibia,” Mayiga remarked at a press conference in Kampala.
Although he did not name any individuals, Mayiga appeared to target Buganda clan chiefs who were preventively arrested in Namibia on an independent visit to Kabaka Ronald Mutebi II, against the kingdom’s creed. “These people are the ones who have been going around Namibian missions in the world staging scenes embarrassing Buganda while disguising and demanding that they want to see the Kabaka,” the Katikkiro stated.
“We are not seated, and we shall not just look on as our king is disrespected. We want Buganda to denounce all these people who have been sent,” he emphasized.
“On behalf of Buganda, I apologize to Namibia over the misconduct of these inhumane individuals who worried Namibian authorities while the Kabaka was recuperating in their country,” Mayiga added.
