Kabaka Stops Removal Of Mutesa Cars By Josephine Maseruka The Kabaka’s government has halted the excavation of a fleet of vintage cars used by Sir Edward Muteesa II, Kabaka Mutebi’s father. Mutebi said the kingdom is in advanced stages of putting up a Buganda museum in the former residence of the Buganda Treasurer in Kisenyi near the Lubiri palace. A reliable source at Mengo on Friday said excavation had been halted but declined to reveal where the unearthed metal of the three Rolls Royce and seven other cars were taken. In May, Mengo officials hired excavators from Katwe, a Kampala suburb, to remove all metallic objects in the Lubiri palace. The metal was to be sold to the Jinja-based Steel Works.
