His reference to Bakiga alone was because they were predominantly the ones who had migrated from Kigezi to other lands such as Nkore, Toro and Bunyoro in the preceding two decades. Had he been alive today, Mr Ngorogoza, one of the most visionary leaders Uganda has produced, would have addressed himself to all Banyakigezi and all Ugandans who have left their homelands.
