You know when we are discussing matters of importance I fail to understand why you drag us through such nonsense. Past Leaders are already returned or returning to Uganda, Ssabasajja Mutesa is in Uganda, Professor Lule is in Uganda, Godfrey Binayisa is on Kampala road. In fact let me tell you that I am one of those people who believe that president Obote wants to go home as well, but Museveni has stated publicly that if he returns he will kill him. And this is the way Museveni plays politics by making issues personal, a good example is the expedited killing of Cossima Obura, and I am sure you know of their history.
But just out of curiosity, how do you know that Obote does not want to buried in Zambia?
Now on Mutesa you are not telling the truth, so I will remind you. At the
death of the President, Uganda government offered to return the body to
Uganda, and you might have not known this for most likely you were not born
yet. But Buganda leaders and Mengo leaders, refused the offer. So let us not
put Mengo confusion to the then Uganda government. And yes I know you will
refuse that fact. So let me warn you that if you deny that fact, you will be
swamped with factual proofs, for History does not die that fast.
Lastly your using the way Mutesa died to plant it on Obote is a very
terrible disgrace, one wonders how much you can prove on all those
statements. But you see Uganda issues any one can state what he/she likes
and that is your decision. But I will say this that during one of my visits
in Uganda, I went to see one oldie Muganda woman, who wanted to know how I
traveled from Canada to Uganda. The moment I told her that I came through
London, she became excited and took me for a private discussion, and her
question was, "Did you get a chance to see Ssabasajja in London?" For a good
number of old Baganda actually believes that Mutesa is alive and in London.
Now Matovu knows for a fact that Obote killed Mutesa. When will living into
illusion end in Buganda one must wonder.
