it is necessary to understand the language of Ugandans. When they say that Mu7 gave us the monarchy, what they actually mean is that it was restored under his government (although I'm sure he had a hand in the decision and through negotiations). It is similar to when they say that Obote killed us. This doesn't mean the man himself actually took the gun and shot people.
That said, I'd hate to think that you are attributing the statement, which you found demeaning, to the Kabaka. He never said it. And before I hear shouts from all sorts of corners, let me stress that the lady MP who said it is not even an ethnic Muganda. But she has a right to her opinions.

I want to believe there is no contradictions in these
statements.That granted what I find demeaning is the
statement that Mu7 gave us the monarchy and since we
are not sure whether his successor will be pro
monarchism we have to start or should we continue
negotiating for it?.I have all along thought and known
that the Monarch was there even before the colonial
times and to read this type of statements is to say
the least very mind boggling.What Mu7 has done is
actually to undermine the Monarchy so that it becomes
subservient to him and hence this type of statements.
B4 1966 everybody who cares to know, knows what the
monarchy was about and if that is what we want under
the aegesis of Federalism then we can hide under these
nefarious statements.
Thank you.
Kipenji.
